- I'm looking for guidance on how to discover instances of Snowflake and MarkLogic using ServiceNow Discovery. To clarify, I am not referring to integrating with these platforms to fetch data (i.e., not through IntegrationHub or APIs for data sync), but rather:I want to discover the actual existence of these instances within our infrastructure — similar to how we discover databases like Oracle or SQL Server.
Some specific questions I have:
- Are there out-of-the-box patterns or probes in ServiceNow Discovery for Snowflake or MarkLogic?
- If not, what are the recommended methods to build custom patterns or leverage existing capabilities to detect these systems?
- Should we rely on port scans, installed software detection, or configuration files for this?
- Is it possible to discover them if they are cloud-hosted (like Snowflake commonly is)?
- How can I identify them as unique CIs in CMDB, and link them to the appropriate business/application services?
