Hi

1. How to get the Devices for Azure Cloud Discovery:

Azure Cloud Discovery typically involves integrating ServiceNow with Azure services using Azure AD and the required connectors. The discovery process involves identifying and importing devices from Azure into the ServiceNow CMDB.

2. How to place it in the relevant CMDB:

During the Azure Cloud Discovery process, the discovered devices and related information are typically populated in the ServiceNow CMDB (Configuration Management Database). You may need to configure mapping rules to ensure that the discovered data is correctly placed in the relevant CMDB tables and related records

3. Plugins and Dependency Plugins for Azure Cloud Discovery:

ServiceNow uses various plugins to extend its capabilities. For Azure Cloud Discovery, you might need plugins related to Azure integration, cloud discovery, and possibly additional plugins for specific features.

Here are some relevant plugins:

• ServiceNow Cloud Management:

  • This is a core plugin that provides cloud-related functionalities, including Azure integration.

• Discovery and Service Mapping:

  • These plugins may be used to discover and map relationships between different configuration items.

4. How to Utilize Azure Cloud Discovery in ServiceNow CMDB:

Once the Azure Cloud Discovery is configured and devices are being discovered, you can utilize the data in the CMDB for various purposes:

5. Types of Devices that Can be Discovered:

Azure Cloud Discovery can discover a wide range of resources hosted in Microsoft Azure. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Virtual Machines (VMs):

  • Discover information about Azure VMs.

• Azure SQL Databases:

  • Identify and track Azure SQL databases.

• Storage Accounts:
