GCP BigQuery pattern-based discovery

Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns finds GCP BigQuery datasets and tables 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 GCP discovery prerequisites section in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Cloud discovery using Patterns.

Data collected by Discovery during horizontal discovery

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

Fully qualified domain name [fqdn]FQDN for accessing the public dataset.
FieldDescription
Name [name]Name of the BigQuery table.
Type [type]Database type. Value is set to bigquery.
Install Status [install_status]Install status of the resource. Default value is Installed.

CI relationships

The Google Cloud Platform (GCP) - BigQuery DB pattern creates these relationships to support GCP BigQuery discovery.

GCP Tag discovery

The Google Cloud Platform (GCP) - BigQuery DB pattern collects tags and populates them in the Key Value [cmdb_key_value] table.

FieldDescription
Key [key]Tag name.
Value [value]Tag value.
Configuration item [configuration_item]References the Cloud DataBase [cmdb_ci_cloud_database] table.
