Show full answer Show less ITOM Visibility requires activation of the Discovery and Service Mapping plugins, along with an ITOM Visibility subscription. Customers should install the latest ITOM Visibility applications from the ServiceNow Store to access full functionality. ## Key Features Introduced * **Discovery Admin Workspace Enhancements:** Provides a unified workspace to configure discovery, monitor schedules, troubleshoot errors, and view reports and insights. Anomaly detection with machine learning helps identify unusual discovery schedule behavior. * **Expanded Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns:** Support for additional products and cloud services such as Dell EMC storage, AWS (including China region), Azure Marketplace, Alibaba Cloud, IBM OCI, GCP cloud functions, and more. This extends visibility and automated CMDB population. * **MID Server Improvements:** Supports Microsoft Azure Key Vault for credential management, log file compression, and enhanced properties for better discovery performance. * **Cloud Native Operations (CNO) for Visibility:** New features enable updating Informer execution parameters from the instance, OAuth 2.0 authorization support, multi-architecture Docker image support, and extended cluster version visibility including OpenShift. * **Service Mapping Enhancements:** Use of Service Fingerprints to improve application service candidate selection, tag-based service mapping with performance limits, and AI-powered Service Mapping to automatically generate service maps from machine learning candidates, reducing manual relationship maintenance. * **Certificate Inventory and Management:** Automated certificate renewal and request workflows using Keyfactor EJBCA and ACME, with support for generating certificate signing requests. Enhancements include integrating with Microsoft Outlook and CMDB data certification. * **Kubernetes Visibility Agent (KVA):** Continuous discovery of Kubernetes resources, service maps for workloads and microservices, with support for Istio and linked service meshes. Maps Kubernetes clusters including OpenShift versions. * **Service Graph Connectors:** Integrations to ingest data from third-party sources such as Google Chromebooks, AWS, Azure, and GCP into the CMDB for extended discovery. * **Cloud Discovery Scheduling:** Cloud-based discovery scheduling and reporting integrated into Discovery Admin Workspace, supporting AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and Alibaba Cloud. * **Security and Compliance:** Cryptographic Asset Compliance app manages certificates and cloud keys across environments, helping identify at-risk assets and maintain post-quantum cryptography readiness. HTTP Classify probe updated to prevent credential exposure over unencrypted HTTP by default. * **User Experience Updates:** Introduction of the Coral theme with a dark mode option for web and mobile experiences to improve accessibility and user comfort. ## Important Changes and Deprecations * The Discovery Dashboard has been deprecated in favor of the Discovery Admin Workspace starting from Xanadu. * Discovery CLI is no longer available in the Pattern Designer Enhancements Store App from Yokohama onwards. * Cloud Discovery Workspace is hidden and deprecated starting with Zurich, with Discovery Admin Workspace as the recommended replacement. * Updated Service Mapping roles replace older roles for better visibility of machine learning candidates. * Limits introduced for tag-based Service Mapping to improve performance and prevent excessive service candidate creation. * Renaming of RHV to oVirt in patterns and CMDB labels for consistency. * HTTP Classify probe now blocks credentials over HTTP by default for security; a property exists to override this but is not recommended. ## Upgrade and Activation Guidance Before upgrading to Australia, customers should: * Complete pre- and post-upgrade tasks as detailed in the release notes and knowledge base articles. * Verify the behavior of specific Fix Scripts like "Add Explicit Public SNMP Credential" in sandbox environments to avoid unnecessary credential creation. * Install or upgrade to the latest versions of ITOM Visibility applications, Discovery and Service Mapping plugins, and out-of-band apps from the ServiceNow Store. * Use Discovery Admin Workspace and updated patterns for improved discovery and service mapping results. * Enable and configure new features such as anomaly detection, cloud discovery schedules, and certificate management automation according to organizational needs. Activation requires enabling the Discovery (com.snc.discovery) and Service Mapping (com.snc.service-mapping) plugins with an ITOM Visibility subscription. Additional components such as Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns, Service Graph Connectors, and Kubernetes Visibility Agent are available via the ServiceNow Store. ## Practical Benefits for ServiceNow Customers * **Enhanced Visibility:** Broader discovery coverage across on-premises, cloud, and container environments with automated updates to the CMDB. * **Improved Efficiency:** Centralized workspaces, anomaly detection, and AI-driven service mapping reduce Consolidated page of all release notes for ITOM Visibility from Xanadu to Australia. ## How to use this page To help you prepare for your upgrade, we have combined the cross-family ITOM Visibility release notes onto one page.

[Prevent credential exposure by updating HTTP Classify behavior](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=create-an-http-classifier&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US) : The HTTP Classify probe no longer attempts credentials over the HTTP protocol by default. This change enhances security by helping prevent potential exposure of credentials over unencrypted connections. To override this behavior, a new MID Server property, mid.http_classy.allow_credentials_over_http, has been introduced. Enabling this setting might expose credentials to man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks. Therefore, it's strongly recommended to keep this property set to false and use HTTPS whenever possible. | | Australia | No updates for this release. | [ ] ## Removed Between your current release family and Australia, some ITOM Visibility features or functionality were removed. {#dfrn3-itomvisibility-summary__entry__32} | Release | Release notes | |-|-| | Xanadu | No updates for this release. | | Yokohama | No updates for this release. | | Zurich | No updates for this release. | | Australia | No updates for this release. | [ ] ## Deprecations Between your current release family and Australia, some ITOM Visibility features or functionality were deprecated. {#dfrn3-itomvisibility-summary__entry__42} | Release | Release notes | |-|-| | Xanadu | Starting with the Xanadu release, the Discovery Dashboard is no longer part of the Discovery plugin.
