## Summary of Azure Application Insight Component pattern-based discovery

The Azure Application Insight Component pattern-based discovery in ServiceNow enables automated identification and mapping of Azure Application Insights components within your cloud environment.
This discovery populates both CMDB and non-CMDB tables with detailed resource information, supporting comprehensive cloud asset visibility and management.

## Key Features

* **Pattern-Based Discovery:** Utilizes the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application to find Azure services, requiring periodic updates from the ServiceNow Store to access the latest patterns.
* **Permissions and Prerequisites:** Requires verification of REST API permissions based on a downloadable Cloud Discovery patterns spreadsheet, and adherence to Microsoft Azure discovery prerequisites to ensure successful discovery runs.
* **Resource Inclusion List Management:** Avoids duplicate discovery by verifying and removing relevant resources from the Resource Inclusion List table.
* **Pattern Activation:** The discovery pattern is disabled by default and must be enabled; pattern activation changes are preserved across upgrades without being treated as customizations.
* **Azure GovCloud Support:** Supports Azure GovCloud (US) account discovery by configuring discovery schedules with appropriate datacenter URLs.
* **Data Population:** Discovery populates detailed resource data into specific CMDB tables such as *Cloud Resource \[cmdbcicmpresource\]* and non-CMDB tables like *Azure Application Insight Component \[cmdbazureapplicationinsightcomponent\]*, capturing fields like App ID, Application Type, Location, Subscription ID, and more.
* **CI Relationships:** Automatically establishes relationships between discovered components, resource groups, and Azure datacenters to support accurate service mapping.
* **Tag Discovery:** Collects Azure tags and stores them in the Key Value \[cmdbkeyvalue\] table, enabling enhanced metadata management.

## Key Outcomes

* Enables comprehensive and up-to-date visibility into Azure Application Insight components within your ServiceNow CMDB environment.
* Supports accurate cloud service mapping by maintaining correct relationships and detailed resource attributes.
* Facilitates governance and operational management of Azure resources through detailed inventory data and tagging information.
* Ensures discovery processes remain aligned with Azure environment changes by requiring periodic pattern and permission updates.  
Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns finds Azure 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 {#azure-app-insight-component__section_ipy_53n_jfc}

Verify the REST API permissions
:   Download the [Cloud Discovery patterns spreadsheet](https://downloads.docs.servicenow.com/resource/enus/api/servicenow-discovery-patterns-api-details.xlsx) so you can grant user permissions required for running the Discovery patterns. In addition to permissions, the spreadsheet also includes useful information such as pattern names, types, CI Classes, and links to vendor documentation. New patterns are available quarterly, so check periodically to be sure you have the latest version of the spreadsheet.{#azure-app-insight-component__cloud-discovery-api-ph-short-prereq}

Verify the Microsoft Azure discovery prerequisites{#azure-app-insight-component__verify-azure-discovery-prerequisites-dlentry}
:   For more information, see the prerequisites section in [Microsoft Azure Cloud discovery using patterns](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/e2521~KHAw8EO7j1nC9QMA "Discovery uses multiple patterns to discover components of the Microsoft Azure 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{#azure-app-insight-component__remove-resource-inclusion-list-azure}
:   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 [Microsoft Azure resource inventory discovery](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/tO3nNqXv4zOe7q99krvAnA "The ServiceNow Discovery application uses the Azure Resource Inventory (LP) pattern to find resources available through Azure that don’t have a dedicated pattern. 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{#azure-app-insight-component__enable-pattern-reuse-dlentry}
:   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.").{#azure-app-insight-component__activating-disabled-pattern-not-customization}

Configure the Discovery schedule to support GovCloud{#azure-app-insight-component__configure-govcloud-azure-dlentry}
:   Discovering Azure GovCloud (US) accounts requires using a datacenter URL when setting up an Azure service account. For more information, see [Set up Azure service accounts](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/XKQpJvxWTKNL58XCkRHVxA "Create and configure cloud service accounts at ServiceNow AI Platform for the corresponding Microsoft Azure accounts.").{#azure-app-insight-component__configure-govcloud-azure-dd}
{#azure-app-insight-component__configure-govcloud-azure-dd} Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application populates data in both CMDB and non-CMDB tables.

## Data stored in non-CMDB tables {#azure-app-insight-component__section_aq4_qkq_hfc}

Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application populate data in the non-CMDB table when running the Azure - Application Insight Component - Extended Inventory(LP) pattern.

You can review the non-CMDB
Azure tables by navigating to AllConfigurationAzure. You can also search the navigation filter for the specific pattern name.
