    • Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns uses the Alibaba - Cloud OS Image (LP) pattern to discover cloud OS images during horizontal discovery. Discovering some of these resources may require updating to the latest version of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application from the ServiceNow Store.

    Verify the Alibaba Cloud discovery prerequisites section in Alibaba Cloud discovery using patterns.

    Data collected by Discovery during horizontal discovery

    Discovery populates the data in the CMDB when running the Alibaba - Cloud OS Image (LP) pattern.

    Name [name] Image name.
    Object ID [object_id] ID of the image.
    • IDs of public images contain the operating system version, architecture, language, and release date.

      For example: win2008r2_64_ent_sp1_en-us_40G_alibase_20190318.vhd.

    • IDs of custom, shared, and community images start with m.

    Tag discovery

    The Alibaba - Cloud OS Image (LP) pattern collects tags and populates them in the Key Value [cmdb_key_value] table.
