How to create custom cloud discovery

[Vincent Wong1]

Hi all,

We have requirement to enable cmdb integration with Cloud that is currently not support by ServiceNow OOTB pattern.

I am trying to setup custom 'cloud resource' discovery pattern without luck.

I am not able to figure out how to tigger the cloud pattern since there is option available to run this new custom cloud resource discovery pattern.

Anyone has experience setting up something similar?

Or it is better to direct consume the Cloud provided API instead of setting up new cloud pattern?

Thanks in advance, Vincent Wong

Hi @Vincent Wong1 ,

My suggestion is use the Cloud provided API instead creating the custom pattern as its a Big Task which is not possible easily and took lots of time.

Also you can raise an Idea with ServiceNow for those cloud discovery pattern to be build.

Hi @AJ-TechTrek,

Thanks for your reply.
Would you have suggestion on method or way to use the Cloud provided API?

i.e. Outbound REST, direct script, Flow designer or else?

Hi Vincent,
Please confirm which cloud vendor you are referring to here. 

"I am trying to setup custom 'cloud resource' discovery pattern without luck." Are you referring to the asset inventory pattern?
