ITOM Visibility applications discover a variety of Google Cloud Platform (GCP) resources and populate the relevant configuration item (CI) classes in the Configuration Management Database (CMDB) with their attributes.

## ITOM Visibility solutions {#gcp-discovery-methods__section_z3r_kvh_hfc}

ITOM Visibility can offer you comprehensive visibility into your organization's cloud infrastructure. Each application offers unique strengths and capabilities, and by comparing them you can gain holistic insights on their capabilities and benefits.{#gcp-discovery-methods__table_sld_tvh_hfc__entry__3}

| ITOM Visibility solution | Overview | Configuration |
|-|-|-|
| Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns and Visibility Content | [Discovery patterns used by ITOM Visibility](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/_qxdmD6N5su6Ad7JOjMRVQ "Service Mapping and Discovery use patterns in their discovery process that cover most industry standard network devices and applications. You can customize these patterns and create new ones.") | * You must update your store apps to the latest release version. * You must provide ITOM Visibility with access permissions. For more information, see [Set up Google Cloud Platform service accounts](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/qT~O6_Q8nNXW9p4Lvvp_wA "Create and configure cloud service accounts at ServiceNow AI Platform for the corresponding Google Cloud Platform (GCP) service accounts.") {#gcp-discovery-methods__ul_cgf_3wh_hfc} |
| Service Graph Connector for GCP | [Service Graph Connector for GCP](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=sgc-cmdb-integration-gcp&version=yokohama&pubname=yokohama-servicenow-platform&ft:locale=en-US) | [Configure Service Graph Connector for GCP using the guided setup](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=sgc-config-gcp-integration&version=yokohama&pubname=yokohama-servicenow-platform&ft:locale=en-US) |
[Table 1. ITOM Visibility solutions for discovering GCP]

{#gcp-discovery-methods__table_sld_tvh_hfc} Note:  
The CI class, in most cases, is applicable to both solutions. If it's not applicable to one of the solutions, the solution is marked "N/A".

If an entry is marked with one asterisk, the resource type is supported by Patterns only by utilizing the Google Asset inventory pattern's inclusion list. For more information, see [Google Cloud Platform (GCP) resource inventory discovery](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/HTseKqDUk4oXAniU3xXNYw "The ServiceNow Discovery application uses the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) asset inventory pattern to find GCP resources and policies. Discovering some of these resources may require updating to the latest version of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application from the ServiceNow Store.").

If an entry is marked with two asterisks, the resource type is supported by Service Graph Connecters only by utilizing the \[sn_cmdb_int_util_service_graph_resource_inclusion_whitelist\] table.
