Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns finds GCP SSH keys stored in project metadata 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 {#gcp-ssh-keys-pattern__section_rpj_fj2_bgc}

Verify the GCP discovery prerequisites section in [Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Cloud components discovery using Patterns](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/M4N6KVOmfeA1DCboNawaBg "Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns uses patterns to discover components of the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) 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.").

## Data collected by Discovery during horizontal discovery {#gcp-ssh-keys-pattern__section_ggp_ql2_bgc}

Discovery populates the data in the CMDB when running the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) - SSH Keys pattern.
