It is part of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application, which requires meeting AWS discovery prerequisites and managing resource inclusion to avoid duplicate discovery. The pattern is disabled by default and can be enabled without impacting update processes starting from Visibility Content version 6.28.0. Special configuration is necessary for discovering AWS GovCloud (US) accounts. Show full answer Show less ## Key Features * **Pattern Activation:** Enables discovery of InfluxDB database instances on AWS by activating the specific pattern in the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application. * **Data Population:** Discovers and populates data both in CMDB and non-CMDB tables, providing comprehensive visibility into the database instances. * **Non-CMDB Data:** Stores extended inventory details such as instance name, status, configuration item reference, instance type, storage type, and unique Amazon Resource Name (ARN). * **CMDB Data:** Captures core configuration management details including install status, operational status, resource type (set as AWS::Timestream::InfluxDBInstance), and the ARN. * **CI Relationships:** Establishes relationships showing hosting on AWS datacenters and references between Timestream instances and cloud databases, supporting comprehensive service maps. * **AWS Tag Discovery:** Collects AWS tags associated with the instances and stores them in the Key Value table for enhanced metadata management. ## Practical Considerations for ServiceNow Customers * Ensure AWS discovery prerequisites are met and resources are not listed in the Resource Inclusion List to prevent duplicate entries. * Activate the pattern as needed, knowing that enabling or disabling it is not treated as a customization and updates will continue to apply. * Configure discovery schedules properly, especially when working with AWS GovCloud accounts, requiring specific datacenter URL settings. * Leverage populated CMDB and non-CMDB tables to gain detailed insights and build accurate service maps involving Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB instances. * Use the collected tag information for filtering, reporting, and governance purposes within the ServiceNow platform. 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-timestream-influxdb-db-instance__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-timestream-influxdb-db-instance__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-timestream-influxdb-db-instance__section_aq4_qkq_hfc} Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application populates data in the non-CMDB table when running the Amazon AWS - Timestream for InfluxDB Database Instance - 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-timestream-influxdb-db-instance__section_aq4_qkq_hfc__entry__2} | Field | Description | |-|-| | Name \[name\] | The name assigned to the InfluxDB database instance. | | Status \[status\] | The current state or health of the InfluxDB database instance. | | Configuration Item \[configuration_item\] | References the Cloud DataBase \[cmdb_ci_cloud_database\] table. | | DB Instance Type \[db_instance_type\] | The compute and memory configuration type for the InfluxDB instance. | | DB Storage Type \[db_storage_type\] | The storage class or type used for the InfluxDB instance. | | Object Id \[object_id\] | The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) uniquely identifying the InfluxDB instance. | [Table 1.
