Cannot select CI type when creating "Infrastructure" discovery pattern.

[Aidan]

I'm trying to build a discovery pattern for use by cloud events but cannot select the correct CI type when the "Pattern Type" is "Infrastructure".

I have built the pattern for discovery the particular resource (Pattern Type == Cloud Resources), and this works fine but I need to create the event equivalent.  All other event fired patterns have the Pattern type of "Infrastructure", but when I select that type the CI type field is filtered and my custom CI class is not available.

Does anyone know what the criteria is for getting my CI class in this list?

Hi @Aidan,

You need to add your desired CI class with csv format in OOB system property "sa.add_cis_to_infrastructure_list" and then you will be able to see your CI while you create event pattern with Infrastructure pattern type.

I did similar when I tried to develop event patterns for Azure for cloud CI class.

Thanks SiD, the actual properties turned out to simply be under properties in Pattern Designer!

pd.application.ci.types

pd.infrastructure.ci.types

Hello ,

Can i get a brief about what the pattern type denotes if its Infrastructure / Cloud resources/ Application ? Is there a way i can identify if the discovery is ran using a probe or IP discovery ?

thanks,

Hi @RashikaVT

It's straightforward, infra means any servers, switches, storage devices etc.. and application is for the application patterns that run for processes running on the infra. Cloud Resources is for Cloud discovery patterns.

In the Discovery Log or ECC Queue related lists under the discovery status log you can see the pattern names if triggered else it will be via probes.

There are certain discovery which still happen through probes even if you have migrated to patterns.
