## Summary of AWS Elastic Beanstalk Application pattern-based discovery

This pattern-based discovery enables ServiceNow customers to identify and map AWS Elastic Beanstalk Applications within their cloud environments using the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application.
It helps populate configuration management database (CMDB) and non-CMDB tables with detailed resource information, facilitating cloud infrastructure visibility and management.

## Prerequisites and Configuration

* **AWS Discovery Prerequisites:** Customers must verify and meet AWS discovery prerequisites as outlined in the AWS discovery using patterns documentation.
* **Resource Inclusion List:** Ensure that Elastic Beanstalk resources are not listed in the Resource Inclusion List \[sacloudinventoryresourcewhitelist\] to avoid duplicate discovery.
* **Pattern Activation:** The Elastic Beanstalk pattern is disabled by default. Starting with Visibility Content version 6.28.0, enabling or disabling patterns does not count as customization and patterns receive updates automatically. After upgrades, pattern states reset to the latest version but retain the last active status.
* **Discovery Schedule for GovCloud:** For AWS GovCloud accounts, configure the discovery schedule with the appropriate datacenter URL in the AWS service account setup.

## Data Population and Tables

The discovery process populates data in both CMDB and non-CMDB tables:

* **Non-CMDB Data:** When running the *Amazon AWS - Elastic Beanstalk Application - Extended Inventory (LP)* pattern, data is stored in non-CMDB AWS tables accessible under *All \> Configuration \> AWS* . This includes the **AWS Elastic Beanstalk Application \[cmdbawselasticbeanstalkapplication\]** table which holds details such as the application name and Amazon Resource Name (ARN).
* **CMDB Data:** The same pattern also populates the **Cloud App Server \[cmdbcicloudappserver\]** table with Elastic Beanstalk application details including name, ARN, resource type (always AWS::ElasticBeanstalk::Application), install status (default Installed), and operational status (default Operational).

## Configuration Item Relationships and References

The pattern establishes important relationships and references to support comprehensive discovery:

* **CI Relationships:** The Cloud App Server CI is related to the AWS Datacenter CI using the *Hosted on::Hosts* relationship, linking Elastic Beanstalk applications to their hosting datacenters.
* **CI References:** References link Elastic Beanstalk application records to Cloud App Server and Key Value tables to maintain data integrity and traceability.

## AWS Tag Discovery

The pattern collects AWS tags associated with Elastic Beanstalk applications, storing tag names and values in the **Key Value \[cmdbkeyvalue\]** table. Each tag entry references the corresponding Cloud App Server CI, enabling tag-based filtering and reporting.

## Practical Benefits for ServiceNow Customers

By implementing this pattern-based discovery, customers can expect automated, accurate identification and mapping of AWS Elastic Beanstalk applications within their CMDB. This enhances asset visibility, supports impact analysis, improves cloud resource governance, and enables integration with ServiceNow IT operations and service management processes.  
Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns finds AWS Elastic Beanstalk Applications 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-elastic-beanstalk-application__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-elastic-beanstalk-application__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-elastic-beanstalk-application__section_aq4_qkq_hfc}

Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application populates data in the non-CMDB table when running the Amazon AWS - Elastic Beanstalk Application - 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.
