    • Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns finds GCP Bigtable instances on your cloud environment. Discovering some of these resources may require updating to the latest version of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application from the ServiceNow Store.

    Pattern-based discovery and mapping requirements

    Verify the GCP discovery prerequisites section in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Cloud discovery using Patterns.

    Data collected by Discovery during horizontal discovery

    Discovery populates the data in the CMDB when running the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) - Bigtable DB pattern.

    Tableau 1. Cloud Service Account [cmdb_ci_cloud_service_account]
    Field Description
    Account Id [account_id] Name of the project used for the discovery.
    Object ID [object_id] Name of the project used for the discovery.
    Datacenter Type [datacenter_type] Datacenter type: Google Datacenter [cmdb_ci_google_datacenter].
    Tableau 2. Availability Zone [cmdb_ci_availability_zone]
    Field Description
    Name [name] Name of the availability zone.
    Description [short_description] Description of the availability zone.
    State [state] State of the Availability Zone. Possible values are Available or Terminated.
    Tableau 3. Google Datacenter [cmdb_ci_google_datacenter]
    Field Description
    Name [name] Datacenter or region name.
    Region [region] Datacenter or region name.
    Object ID [object_id] Unique identifier allocated by GCP for this resource.
    Description [short_description] Datacenter or region description.
    Tableau 4. Cloud DataBase [cmdb_ci_cloud_database]
    Field Description
    Name [name] Display name of the Bigtable instance.
    Object ID [object_id] Unique identifier for the Bigtable instance resource.

    Install Status [install_status] Install status of the Bigtable instance. Default value is Installed.
    State [state] Current operational state of the Bigtable instance. For example, Available or Terminated.
    Operational status [operational_status] Operational status of the Bigtable instance. Default value is Operational.
    Type [type] Resource type identifier. Value is set to bigtable-instance.
    Fully qualified domain name [fqdn] Fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for the Bigtable instance.
    Tableau 5. Cloud DataBase Cluster [cmdb_ci_cloud_db_cluster]
    Field Description
    Name [name] Name of the Bigtable cluster extracted from the cluster identifier.
    Install Status [install_status] Install status of the cluster. Default value is Installed.
    Operational status [operational_status] Operational status of the cluster. Default value is Operational.
    Node Count [node_count] Number of nodes allocated to serve the cluster.
    Cluster Type [cluster_type] Type of database cluster. Value is set to GCP Bigtable.
    Location [location] Geographic region where the cluster is deployed.
    Tableau 6. Database [cmdb_ci_database]

    Name [name] Full resource identifier of the Bigtable table.
    Type [type] Database type identifier. Value is set to bigtable.
    Install Status [install_status] Install status of the table. Default value is Installed.

    CI relationships

    The Google Cloud Platform (GCP) - Bigtable DB pattern creates these relationships to support GCP Bigtable discovery.

    CI Relationship CI

    Key Value [cmdb_key_value] References Cloud DataBase [cmdb_ci_cloud_database]

    GCP Tag discovery

    The Google Cloud Platform (GCP) - Bigtable DB pattern collects tags and populates them in the Key Value [cmdb_key_value] table.

    Tableau 7. Key Value [cmdb_key_value]
    Field Description
    Key [key] Tag name.
    Value [value] Tag value.
    Configuration item [configuration_item] References the Cloud DataBase [cmdb_ci_cloud_database] table.
