## Summary of Azure Service Bus Topic pattern-based discovery

The Azure Service Bus Topic pattern-based discovery enables ServiceNow customers to automatically discover and map Azure Service Bus Topic resources within their cloud environment.
This capability is part of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application, which identifies Azure services and populates configuration data into both CMDB and non-CMDB tables.
It supports accurate visibility into Azure messaging infrastructure, essential for managing cloud resources efficiently.

## Key Features

* **Pattern Activation:** The Azure Service Bus Topic pattern is disabled by default and must be enabled. With Visibility Content version 6.28.0 and later, activating or deactivating patterns no longer counts as a customization, ensuring seamless updates and resets to latest versions after upgrades.
* **GovCloud Support:** Discovery of Azure GovCloud (US) accounts requires configuring Azure service accounts with appropriate datacenter URLs.
* **Data Population:** The discovery pattern populates detailed topic information into two types of tables:
  * **Non-CMDB Tables:** Data from the Azure - Service Bus Topic - Extended Inventory (LP) pattern, accessible through the Azure configuration navigation, includes fields such as enablement of batched operations, partitioning status, location, message size limits, subscription count, and resource group details.
  * **CMDB Tables:** Key topic data is stored in the `cmdbcicloudtopic` table, capturing install and operational status, location, unique object ID, name, description, and relationships.
* **CI Relationships:** The pattern establishes relationships between Azure Service Bus Topic CIs and associated resources, such as resource groups and Azure datacenters, supporting comprehensive service mapping.

## Practical Implications for ServiceNow Customers

* By enabling this pattern and configuring discovery schedules appropriately (especially for GovCloud), customers gain automated, up-to-date insights into their Azure Service Bus Topic resources.
* The discovery ensures that detailed topic attributes and statuses are accurately reflected in the CMDB and related tables, facilitating better resource management, compliance, and operational monitoring.
* Understanding CI relationships created by the pattern helps in visualizing dependencies and hosting contexts within ServiceNow's service mapping capabilities.  
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 {#azure-service-bus-topic__section_ipy_53n_jfc}

Verify the Microsoft Azure discovery prerequisites{#azure-service-bus-topic__verify-azure-discovery-prerequisites-dlentry}
:   For more information, see the prerequisites section in [Microsoft Azure Cloud components discovery using patterns](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/JeDZ0tlC9eLF5fei5qSv3w "Discovery uses multiple patterns to discover components of the Microsoft Azure Cloud deployment during horizontal discovery. Discovering some of these resources may require updating to the latest version of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application from the ServiceNow Store.").

Enable the relevant pattern{#azure-service-bus-topic__enable-pattern-reuse-dlentry}
:   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](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/R5W5GP640V_5uNIhVNRPCw "If you want to use a pattern for discovery that's disabled by default, activate it manually.").{#azure-service-bus-topic__activating-disabled-pattern-not-customization}

Configure the Discovery schedule to support GovCloud{#azure-service-bus-topic__configure-govcloud-azure-dlentry}
:   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](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/wA59_lRoV_0PzpuODHnNjA "Create and configure cloud service accounts at ServiceNow AI Platform for the corresponding Microsoft Azure accounts.").{#azure-service-bus-topic__configure-govcloud-azure-dd}
{#azure-service-bus-topic__configure-govcloud-azure-dd} Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application populates data in both CMDB and non-CMDB tables.

## Data stored in non-CMDB tables {#azure-service-bus-topic__section_aq4_qkq_hfc}

Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application populates data in the non-CMDB table when running the Azure - Service Bus Topic - Extended Inventory(LP) pattern.

You can review the non-CMDB
Azure tables by navigating to AllConfigurationAzure. You can also search the navigation filter for the specific pattern name.  
{#azure-service-bus-topic__section_aq4_qkq_hfc__entry__2}

| Field | Description |
|-|-|
| Enable Batched Operations \[enable_batched_operations\] | Indicates whether batched operations are enabled for the topic. |
| Enable Partitioning \[enable_partitioning\] | Specifies if the topic is partitioned to support scalability. |
| DC Location \[location\] | The geographical region where the topic is deployed. |
| Max Message Size In KB \[max_message_size_in_kb\] | The maximum size of any message that can be sent to the topic, measured in kilobytes (KB). |
| Max Size In MB \[max_size_in_mb\] | The maximum storage limit for the topic in megabytes (MB). |
| Object Id \[object_id\] | The unique identifier for the topic resource. |
| Status \[status\] | The status of the topic resource. For example: Active or Disabled. |
| Subscription Count \[subscription_count\] | The number of active subscriptions associated with the topic. |
| Resource Group \[resource_group\] | Name of the resource group. |
| Subscription ID \[subscription_id\] | The subscription ID. |
| Configuration Item \[configuration_item\] | References the Cloud Topic \[cmdb_ci_cloud_topic\] table. |
[Table 1. Azure Service Bus - Topic \[cmdb_azure_service_bus_topic\]]

## Data stored in CMDB tables

Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application populates data in the CMDB when running the Azure - Service Bus Topic - Extended Inventory(LP) pattern.  
{#azure-service-bus-topic__entry__26}

| Field | Description |
|-|-|
| Install Status \[install_status\] | Install status of the resource. Default value is Installed. |
| Location \[location\] | The geographical region where the topic is deployed. |
| Name \[name\] | The name of the topic within the Service Bus namespace. |
| Object ID \[object_id\] | The unique identifier of the resource in the following format: /subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.ServiceBus/namespaces/{namespaceName}/topics/{topicName} |
| Operational status \[operational_status\] | Operational status of the resource. Default value is Operational. |
| Description \[short_description\] | Description of the resource or service. |
[Table 2. Cloud Topic \[cmdb_ci_cloud_topic\]]

## CI relationships

The pattern creates these relationships to support discovery.
{#azure-service-bus-topic__entry__41}
