## Summary of Amazon Athena Workgroup pattern-based discovery

The Amazon Athena Workgroup pattern-based discovery enables ServiceNow customers to discover and map Amazon Athena Workgroups within their AWS cloud environment using Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns.
This capability requires updating to the latest Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application and ensures comprehensive data collection for both CMDB and non-CMDB tables.

## Key Features

* **Pattern Activation:** The Athena Workgroup discovery pattern is disabled by default. From Visibility Content version 6.28.0 onwards, enabling or disabling patterns does not count as a customization and patterns automatically reset to the latest version after upgrades.
* **Resource Inclusion List Management:** To avoid duplicate discoveries, ensure that Athena Workgroup resources are not listed in the Resource Inclusion List table \[sacloudinventoryresourcewhitelist\].
* **Data Population:** The discovery populates detailed Athena Workgroup data in both CMDB tables (such as `cmdbcicmpresource`) and non-CMDB AWS-specific tables (such as `cmdbawsathenaworkgroup`).
* **Relationship Mapping:** The pattern creates relationships linking Athena Workgroups to AWS Datacenters, aiding in visualizing hosting and infrastructure dependencies.
* **AWS Tag Collection:** Tags associated with Athena Workgroups are collected and stored in the `cmdbkeyvalue` table, enabling enhanced resource categorization and filtering.

## Data Details for ServiceNow Customers

* **Non-CMDB Table (`cmdbawsathenaworkgroup`):** Stores Athena Workgroup name, unique Amazon Resource Name (ARN), state (e.g., ENABLED/DISABLED), engine version, and a reference to the CMDB Cloud Resource.
* **CMDB Table (`cmdbcicmpresource`):** Captures core resource information including ARN, resource type (fixed as `AWS::Athena::Workgroup`), operational status, install status, and name.
* **CI Relationships:** The Cloud Resource record for the Athena Workgroup is linked with the AWS Datacenter where it is hosted, supporting infrastructure mapping.
* **Tag Storage:** Tags are stored as key-value pairs linked to the Cloud Resource record, facilitating tag-based reporting and management.

## Practical Considerations

* Verify AWS discovery prerequisites before enabling this pattern to ensure smooth discovery workflows.
* Manage the Resource Inclusion List carefully to prevent duplicate entries for Athena Workgroups.
* After upgrading the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application, confirm the pattern's activation status and data synchronization.
* Utilize the populated CMDB and non-CMDB data to maintain accurate configuration management and support service mapping for Athena Workgroups.  
Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns finds Amazon Athena Workgroups on your cloud environment. Discovering some of these resources might require updating to the latest version of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application from the ServiceNow Store.

## Pattern-based discovery and mapping requirements {#aws-athena-workgroup__section_rpj_fj2_bgc}

Verify the AWS discovery prerequisites
:   For more information, see the prerequisites section in [AWS discovery using patterns](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/NFaTlkGaSxMWb2bQPsCnCA "Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns uses patterns to discover components of the Amazon AWS Cloud deployment during horizontal discovery. Discovering some of these resources might require updating to the latest version of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application from the ServiceNow Store.").

Remove resources from the Resource Inclusion List table
:   Verify that the relevant resource isn't listed in the Resource Inclusion List \[sa_cloud_inventory_resource_whitelist\] table to avoid duplicate discovery. For more information on removing resources from the Resource
    Inclusion List, see [AWS Resource Inventory discovery with Patterns](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/0pDNq0441mpy~sExfQvvqA "The ServiceNow Discovery and Service Mapping applications can find and map the AWS resources available by AWS Config Service. Discovering some of these resources might require updating to the latest version of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application from the ServiceNow Store.").

Enable the relevant pattern
:   The pattern for this service is disabled by default. Starting with Visibility Content version 6.28.0, activating or deactivating a pattern won't be considered a customization, and it will continue to receive updates. Patterns that were previously activated or deactivated will reset to the latest predefined version after upgrading while retaining the last active field value. For more information on enabling patterns, see [Activate a disabled pattern](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/aypCYVQdO8oFebLMLEI89g "If you want to use a pattern for discovery that's disabled by default, activate it manually.").{#aws-athena-workgroup__activating-disabled-pattern-not-customization}
Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application populates data in both CMDB and non-CMDB tables.

## Data stored in non-CMDB tables {#aws-athena-workgroup__section_aq4_qkq_hfc}

Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application populates data in the non-CMDB table when running the Amazon AWS - Athena Workgroup - Extended Inventory (LP) pattern.

You can review the non-CMDB
AWS tables by navigating to AllConfigurationAWS. You can also search the navigation filter for the specific pattern name.
