Hi All,
We're facing an issue with Azure Cloud Discovery, there are currently hundreds of Azure Subscriptions on our estate, all under one Azure Service Principal.
The issue we have, is that the "Resources" within those "Subscriptions" are not automatically getting discovered, and we are having to manually create a discovery schedule per "Subscription".
We're currently in excess of 200 subscriptions.
Is there any way, to automate the discovery of the resources and virtual machines within our subscriptions, rather than manually creating one schedule for each subscription?

Hi @Tanushree Maiti,
I've referred to every one of those links. None of them definitively answer my question or provide guidance on how to achieve this.
Appreciate the help though.

On Azure Service Principal record in ServiceNow, click Discover Subscriptions. This triggers a discovery pattern to retrieve all Azure subscriptions associated with the Service Principal.
Then navigate to:
Discovery Admin Workspace → Schedules tab → New Discovery
From there, select:
Cloud Discovery
Provider: Azure
And complete the steps defined in the wizard.
Recommended scalable configuration:
Create one Azure Cloud Service Account
Create one Azure Service Prinicipal and link in Cloud Service Account
Create one Cloud Discovery Schedule
