## Summary of Amazon S3 Glacier Vault pattern-based discovery

The Amazon S3 Glacier Vault pattern-based discovery enables ServiceNow customers to find and map Amazon S3 Glacier Vaults within their AWS cloud environments using Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns.
This functionality helps maintain an accurate and detailed inventory of S3 Glacier Vaults in the Configuration Management Database (CMDB) and associated non-CMDB tables, supporting better cloud resource management and operational insight.

## Prerequisites and Setup

* **AWS discovery prerequisites:** Customers must ensure all AWS discovery prerequisites are met as outlined in the AWS discovery using patterns documentation.
* **Resource Inclusion List:** Verify that the Glacier Vault resource is not included in the Resource Inclusion List (\[sacloudinventoryresourcewhitelist\]) to avoid duplicate discovery.
* **Enable the pattern:** The Amazon AWS - S3 Glacier Vault - Extended Inventory (LP) pattern is disabled by default. From Visibility Content version 6.28.0 onward, enabling or disabling patterns does not count as a customization and patterns will update automatically after upgrades while preserving the last active state.

## Data Storage and Structure

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

* **Non-CMDB Tables:** Running the pattern populates AWS-specific non-CMDB tables accessible via Configuration \> AWS.
* **CMDB Tables:** The key CMDB table populated is **Cloud Resource \[cmdbcicmpresource\]**, representing the vault as a cloud resource with fields such as name, ARN, resource type (AWS::S3::GlacierVault), install status, and operational status.

## Key Fields Captured

* **In AWS S3 Glacier Vault \[cmdbawss3glaciervault\] table:** Vault name, ARN (object ID), number of archives, total size in bytes, and reference to the associated Cloud Resource CI.
* **In Cloud Resource \[cmdbcicmpresource\] table:** Vault name, ARN, resource type, install status, and operational status.
* **Tag Discovery:** Tags assigned to the vault are collected and stored in the Key Value \[cmdbkeyvalue\] table with the tag name, value, and associated cloud resource reference.

## Configuration Item (CI) Relationships and References

* The pattern creates relationships between the Glacier Vault cloud resource and the AWS Datacenter CI (hosted on relationship).
* References link the Glacier Vault table entries to their corresponding cloud resource records, supporting consistent CI mapping without cluttering the CI Relationship table.

## Practical Benefits

By leveraging this pattern-based discovery, ServiceNow customers can automate the detection and inventory of Amazon S3 Glacier Vaults, enabling enhanced visibility into archived cloud storage resources. This facilitates accurate CMDB population, tag management, and infrastructure mapping critical for cloud governance, cost management, and operational efficiency.  
Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns finds Amazon S3 Glacier Vaults 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-s3-glacier-vault__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-s3-glacier-vault__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-s3-glacier-vault__section_aq4_qkq_hfc}

Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application populates data in the non-CMDB table when running the Amazon AWS - S3 Glacier Vault - 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.
