Database discovery

Discovery can find database applications, such as MySQL, Oracle, and MongoDB. Discovery can also find database management system software, such as MSSQL Server.

• Database catalog discovery
  The database catalog lists all the catalog objects, or databases, discovered for an instance of a database.
• Database Administrator (DBA) report discovery
  Discovery and Service Mapping uses the Patterns extension sections to provide a Database Administrator report (DBA report) for the Apache Cassandra, Microsoft SQL, MySQL, MongoDB, and Oracle databases. The extension sections for each DB pattern populate the related entries tables. Discovering some of these resources requires updating the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application from the ServiceNow Store.
• Microsoft SQL Server and Cluster discovery
  The Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application uses the MSSql DB On Windows pattern to find Microsoft SQL DB servers and clusters on your infrastructure. Discovering some of these resources requires updating the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application from the ServiceNow Store.
• MySQL discovery
  Discovery can identify an instance of MySQL that is running on UNIX or Windows operating systems.
• MongoDB discovery
  Discovery creates or updates a CMDB record when it detects a running instance of MongoDB.
• PostgreSQL discovery
  Discovery can find running instances of PostgreSQL on Windows and Linux systems.
• Oracle database discovery
  Discovery can identify an Oracle database instance that is running on UNIX or Windows operating systems. It can also find Oracle clusterware, which runs Real Application Clusters (RAC).
• SAP Sybase ASE discovery
  Discovery and Service Mapping uses the Sybase pattern to find SAP Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) databases and catalogs in your infrastructure. Discovering some of these resources requires updating the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application from the ServiceNow Store.
