## Summary of AWS DMS Endpoints pattern-based discovery

AWS DMS Endpoints pattern-based discovery enables ServiceNow customers to automatically identify and map AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) endpoints within their cloud environments.
This functionality is part of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application and requires the latest version for optimal resource detection.
The discovery process populates detailed endpoint data into both CMDB and non-CMDB tables, supporting comprehensive cloud resource management.

## Key Features

* **Pattern Activation:** The AWS DMS Endpoint discovery pattern is disabled by default and must be enabled manually. Activation or deactivation does not count as customization starting from Visibility Content version 6.28.0, ensuring patterns remain up-to-date after upgrades.
* **Prerequisites:** Customers must verify AWS discovery prerequisites and ensure relevant resources are not already included in the Resource Inclusion List table to prevent duplicate discoveries.
* **Data Storage:**
  * **Non-CMDB Tables:** The pattern populates detailed AWS DMS endpoint attributes such as name, ARN, username, database name, endpoint type, engine, encryption key ID, server info, port, and connection status in the *cmdbawsdmsendpoint* table.
  * **CMDB Tables:** It also populates the *cmdbcicmpresource* table with resource metadata including object ID, resource type (always AWS::DMS::Endpoint), operational and install status.
* **CI Relationships and References:** The pattern establishes hosted-on relationships between DMS endpoints and AWS datacenters, linking configuration items for enhanced service mapping.
* **Tag Discovery:** AWS resource tags are collected and stored in the *cmdbkeyvalue* table, associating key-value tag pairs with cloud resources.

## Practical Use for ServiceNow Customers

This discovery pattern allows customers to maintain an accurate and up-to-date inventory of AWS DMS endpoints within their CMDB. By enabling this pattern and ensuring prerequisites are met, organizations gain visibility into endpoint details, connection status, and associated AWS metadata, which supports effective cloud resource governance, security management, and operational decision-making. Integration of tags and relationships further enriches the CMDB, enabling better service mapping and impact analysis.  
Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns finds AWS DMS endpoints 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-dms-endpoint__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-dms-endpoint__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-dms-endpoint__section_aq4_qkq_hfc}

Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application populates data in the non-CMDB table when running the Amazon AWS - DMS Endpoint - 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.
