# AWS LB Pool Member

# AWS LB Pool Member pattern-based discovery {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia  
Updated June 15, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns finds AWS Application Load Balancer (LB) pool members (known in AWS as target group members) in 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-lb-pool-member-pattern__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.").

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.").

Enable AWS Application Load Balancer target discovery
:   By default, the Amazon AWS - LB Pool Member(LP) pattern doesn't execute discovery. To enable the discovery of AWS Application Load Balancer targets, set the sn_itom_pattern.discover_aws_app_pool_members MID Server property to true. For more information, see [Enable AWS Application Load Balancer target discovery](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/SmVDe3t3Qrd55PxS~vYf4g "Enable the sn_itom_pattern.discover_aws_app_pool_members MID Server property to discover AWS Application Load Balancer targets.").

## Data collected by Discovery during horizontal discovery {#aws-lb-pool-member-pattern__section_ggp_ql2_bgc}

Discovery populates the data in the CMDB when running the Amazon AWS - LB Pool Member(LP) pattern.

| Field | Description |
|-|-|
| Name \[name\] | Target ID, depending on the target type. For example: Instance ID, IP address, Lambda ARN, or Application Load Balancer ARN. |
| Service port \[service_port\] | The port on which the target is listening, if available. |
| Object ID \[object_id\] | Possible values are: * Target ID * Target ID and target port, if available, in the following format: <kbd class="ph userinput">&lt;target ID&gt;#&lt;target port&gt;</kbd>. For example: <kbd class="ph userinput">i-0123456789abcdef0#8080</kbd> {#aws-lb-pool-member-pattern__ul_z4s_sly_p2c} |
| Comments \[comments\] | Comments related to the CI. |
| Operational status \[operational_status\] | Operational status of the target. Possible values are Operational or Non-Operational. |
| Install Status \[install_status\] | Installation status of the target. Possible values are Installed or Retired. |
| Pool \[pool\] | References the Load Balancer Pool \[cmdb_ci_lb_pool\] table. |

## CI relationships {#aws-lb-pool-member-pattern__section_dc4_ghc_dgc}

The Amazon AWS - LB Pool Member(LP) pattern creates the following relationships and references to support AWS LB Pool Member discovery. References link to records in other tables and don't appear in the CI Relationship \[cmdb_rel_ci\] table.
