Will Azure SG connector discover all subscriptions &resources hosted in different datacenters?

In pattern based discovery, you discover all the subscriptions, Datacenters etc..

but in SG-connector for Azure, I dont see any info related to discovering of the subscriptions, resources across all the Datacenters.

The docs just mention about configuring below details

Application (client) ID
Client Secret
Directory (tenant) ID

With this, will Azure SG connector discover all subscriptions & resources hosted in different datacenters?

Hi @Suggy,

The SG-Azure-Subscriptions Scheduled Import Job will create a Cloud Service Account CI for each of the Subscriptions associated with a particular Azure Tenant.

All the Resources associated with each of your Subscriptions, regardless of the Azure Data Center (Location) that they exist in, will have a corresponding Target CI created in the ServiceNow CMDB. For example, if you have Azure Virtual Machines created in both the US East and West Europe Azure Locations, Target Virtual Machine CI's will be created for these Azure Virtual Machines in the ServiceNow CMDB. So yes you are correct in your understanding of how the SG-Azure Service Graph Connector pulls resources for your Subscriptions from all the Azure Data Center's that contain Resources.

An yes, if you want to connect to a 2nd Tenant you will need to create a new Connection. The white paper explains how to do this in the Creating Multiple Hardware connections and Creating Multiple Software connections subsections of the C. Installing & Configuring Azure Service Graph Connector on your ServiceNow Instance section of the Whitepaper.

Hoping this helps,

Thanks,

Anne-Marie

Service Graph Connector for Microsoft Azures has data mapping to respective tables using data sources from SG-Azure Subscriptions, SG-Azure Resource Group, SG-Azure Availability Zone, etc.

Data from the Azure data sources is mapped and transformed into the ServiceNow CMDB Configuration Item (CI) class definitions using the Robust Transform Engine (RTE). Data is inserted into the ServiceNow® CMDB using the Identification and Reconciliation Engine (IRE).
