Azure Classic Load Balancer pattern-based discovery
Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns finds Azure Classic Load Balancers 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 Azure discovery prerequisites section in Microsoft Azure Cloud discovery using patterns.
Data collected by Discovery during horizontal discovery
Discovery populates the data in the CMDB when running the Azure - Classic LB (LP) pattern.

CI relationships
The Azure - Classic LB (LP) pattern creates these relationships to support Azure Classic Load Balancer discovery.
| CI | Relationship | CI |
|---|---|---|
| Cloud Load Balancer [cmdb_ci_cloud_load_balancer] | Owns::Owned by | Cloud LB IP Address [cmdb_ci_cloud_lb_ipaddress] |
| Cloud Load Balancer [cmdb_ci_cloud_load_balancer] | Hosted on::Hosts | Azure Datacenter [cmdb_ci_azure_datacenter] |
| Load Balancer Service [cmdb_ci_lb_service] | Hosted on::Hosts | Cloud Load Balancer [cmdb_ci_cloud_load_balancer] |

Connections discovered by Service Mapping during top-down discovery
The Azure LoadBalancer TD pattern performs top-down discovery of Azure Classic Load Balancers. Service Mapping discovers cluster connections from the load balancer service to backend pool member IP addresses using either load balancing rules or inbound NAT rules.
