Azure Disk Encryption Set pattern-based discovery

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 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 - Disk Encryption Set - Extended Inventory(LP) pattern.

You can review the non-CMDB Azure tables by navigating to All > Configuration > Azure. You can also search the navigation filter for the specific pattern name.

FieldDescription
Encryption Type [encryption_type]The method used to encrypt the resource data.
Identity type [identity_type]The classification of the identity assigned to the resource. For example: SystemAssigned or UserAssigned.
Key Url [key_url]The URL where the encryption key is stored or accessible.
Location [location]The geographic region where the resource is deployed.
Object Id [object_id]The unique identifier of the resource.
Provisioning State [provisioning_state]The current status of the resource provisioning process.
Resource Group [resource_group]Name of the resource group.
Tenant Id [tenant_id]The identifier for the tenant that owns the resource.
Configuration Item [configuration_item]References the Cloud Resource [cmdb_ci_cmp_resource] table.

Data stored in CMDB tables
