It requires the latest Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application and supports populating detailed data into both CMDB and non-CMDB tables, facilitating comprehensive visibility and management of AWS VPC Endpoint Services. Show full answer Show less ## Key Features * **Prerequisites:** Ensure AWS discovery prerequisites are met and relevant resources are not listed in the Resource Inclusion List to avoid duplicate discovery. * **Pattern Activation:** The VPC Endpoint Service discovery pattern is disabled by default and must be enabled. Pattern updates are managed automatically without being considered customizations. * **GovCloud Support:** Discovery supports AWS GovCloud accounts through specific datacenter URL configurations in AWS service accounts. * **Data Population:** * Non-CMDB tables such as `cmdbawselasticcloudcomputevpcendpointservice` store detailed attributes like ARN, service ID, service type, and customer management status. * CMDB tables like `cmdbcicloudgateway` capture the VPC Endpoint Service as a Cloud Gateway CI with install and operational status, descriptions, and relationships. * Tags discovered from AWS are stored in the `cmdbkeyvalue` table, enabling effective tag-based management. * **CI Relationships:** The pattern establishes relationships between VPC Endpoint Services, Cloud Gateways, and AWS Datacenters to provide connected service mapping. ## Practical Benefits for ServiceNow Customers * Automated discovery of Amazon EC2 VPC Endpoint Services reduces manual effort and improves accuracy in your CMDB. * Comprehensive and structured data storage enables better operational visibility and lifecycle management of VPC Endpoint Services. * Support for AWS GovCloud ensures compliance and discovery coverage in specialized AWS regions. * Tag collection facilitates enhanced categorization, filtering, and reporting on AWS resources. Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns finds AWS services 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-ec2-vpc-endpoint-service__selection_ipy_53n_jfc} 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-ec2-vpc-endpoint-service__activating-disabled-pattern-not-customization} Configure the Discovery schedule to support GovCloud : Discovering AWS GovCloud (US) accounts requires using a datacenter URL when setting up an AWS service account. For more information, see [Create AWS service accounts](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/vpueuFRHMWLNi6dzsJv94A "Create AWS service accounts on the ServiceNow AI Platform to access your AWS account during AWS discovery."). Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application populates data in both CMDB and non-CMDB tables. ## Data stored in non-CMDB tables {#aws-ec2-vpc-endpoint-service__section_aq4_qkq_hfc} Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application populates data in the non-CMDB table when running the Amazon AWS - Elastic Compute Cloud VPC Endpoint Service - 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. {#aws-ec2-vpc-endpoint-service__section_aq4_qkq_hfc__entry__2} | Field | Description | |-|-| | Object Id \[object_id\] | The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) uniquely identifying the VPC Endpoint Service. The ARN consists of the AWS region, account ID, and service ID in the following format: arn:aws:ec2:\:\:vpc-endpoint-service/\. | | Name \[name\] | The name assigned to the VPC endpoint service. | | Configuration Item \[configuration_item\] | References the Cloud Gateway \[cmdb_ci_cloud_gateway\] table. | | Is Customer Managed \[is_customer_managed\] | Indicates whether the VPC Endpoint Service is managed by a customer or AWS. | | Service ID \[service_id\] | The unique identifier for the VPC endpoint service. | | Service Type \[service_type\] | The type of the VPC endpoint service. For example: Interface or Gateway. | [Table 1.
