Azure Logic App pattern-based discovery
Summarize
Summary of Azure Logic App pattern-based discovery
Azure Logic App pattern-based discovery in ServiceNow enables automated detection and mapping of Azure Logic App resources within your cloud environment. This capability is part of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application, which identifies Azure services and populates related data into both CMDB and non-CMDB tables. This helps ServiceNow customers maintain an accurate and up-to-date view of their Azure cloud infrastructure, facilitating better management and operational insight.

Key Features
- Pattern Activation: The Azure Logic App discovery pattern is disabled by default. From Visibility Content version 6.28.0 onward, activating or deactivating patterns is not considered a customization, ensuring patterns receive ongoing updates. After upgrades, patterns reset to the latest predefined version while preserving the last active state.
- Discovery Prerequisites: Customers must verify Microsoft Azure discovery prerequisites and configure Azure service accounts properly, especially for Azure GovCloud (US), which requires specific datacenter URLs.
- Data Population: The pattern populates detailed Azure Logic App information into:
- Non-CMDB tables: For extended inventory data, accessible under Configuration > Azure.
- CMDB tables: Specifically, the Cloud Function [cmdbcicloudfunction] table, capturing operational and configuration details. - Configuration Item (CI) Relationships: The discovery establishes key relationships between Azure Logic Apps, Cloud Functions, Resource Groups, and Azure Datacenters, enabling comprehensive service mapping and impact analysis.
- Tag Collection: Azure resource tags are collected and stored in the Key Value [cmdbkeyvalue] table, supporting enhanced classification and filtering.
Key Outcomes
- Comprehensive Azure Logic App Visibility: Automatically discover and track Azure Logic Apps and their associated resources, ensuring accurate and current data in your CMDB.
- Improved Cloud Resource Management: Leverage detailed resource attributes such as provisioning state, location, identity, and operational status to optimize cloud operations and governance.
- Enhanced Service Mapping: Understand relationships among Azure resources to improve troubleshooting, impact analysis, and change management processes.
- Support for Azure GovCloud: Enables discovery in specialized Azure environments requiring unique configurations.
Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns finds Azure services on your cloud environment. Discovering some of these resources may require updating to the latest version of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application from the ServiceNow Store.
Pattern-based discovery and mapping requirements
- Verify the Microsoft Azure discovery prerequisites
- For more information, see the prerequisites section in Microsoft Azure Cloud components discovery using patterns.
- Enable the relevant pattern
- The pattern for this service is disabled by default. Starting with Visibility Content version 6.28.0, activating or deactivating a pattern won't be considered a customization, and it will continue to receive updates. Patterns that were previously activated or deactivated will reset to the latest predefined version after upgrading while retaining the last active field value. For more information on enabling patterns, see Activate a disabled pattern.
- Configure the Discovery schedule to support GovCloud
- Discovering Azure GovCloud (US) accounts requires using a datacenter URL when setting up an Azure service account. For more information, see Set up Azure service accounts.
Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application populates data in both CMDB and non-CMDB tables.
Data stored in non-CMDB tables
Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application populates data in the non-CMDB table when running the Azure - Logic App - Extended Inventory(LP) pattern.
You can review the non-CMDB Azure tables by navigating to . You can also search the navigation filter for the specific pattern name.
