## Summary of Azure Private Link Private Endpoint pattern-based discovery

This discovery pattern enables ServiceNow customers to detect and map Azure Private Link Private Endpoints within their cloud environments using the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application.
It supports populating detailed resource data into both CMDB and non-CMDB tables, ensuring comprehensive visibility of these Azure services.

## Key Features

* **Pattern Activation:** The Azure Private Link Private Endpoint pattern is disabled by default and must be enabled to perform discovery. With Visibility Content version 6.28.0 and later, pattern activation no longer counts as customization and patterns automatically update to the latest version after upgrades while retaining activation status.
* **Permissions and Prerequisites:** Successful discovery requires verifying REST API permissions, which are detailed in a downloadable Cloud Discovery patterns spreadsheet. Additionally, Microsoft Azure discovery prerequisites must be met.
* **Resource Inclusion List Management:** To prevent duplicate discovery, resources must not be listed in the Resource Inclusion List table \[sacloudinventoryresourcewhitelist\].
* **GovCloud Support:** When discovering Azure GovCloud (US) accounts, use the appropriate datacenter URL when configuring Azure service accounts.
* **Data Storage:** The pattern populates resource data in both non-CMDB and CMDB tables, providing structured and detailed resource information, including tags stored in the Key Value \[cmdbkeyvalue\] table.
* **CI Relationships:** The pattern automatically creates key Configuration Item (CI) relationships, linking Private Endpoints to resource groups, cloud resources, and Azure datacenters to support discovery and mapping accuracy.

## Data Captured and Tables Populated

**Non-CMDB Table:** `cmdbazureprivatelinkprivateendpoint` stores attributes such as resource kind, location, object ID, provisioning state, resource group, subscription ID, and tenant ID, along with a reference to the Cloud Resource CI.

**CMDB Table:** `cmdbcicmpresource` contains details like install status, operational status, location, name, object ID, and specifies the resource type as `microsoft.network/privateendpoints`.

**Tag Information:** Tags collected from Azure resources are stored in the Key Value table `cmdbkeyvalue` with key-value pairs representing tag names and values.

## Practical Considerations for ServiceNow Customers

* Ensure you have the latest Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application and regularly update the Cloud Discovery patterns spreadsheet to maintain current permissions and pattern versions.
* Verify and configure all necessary permissions and Azure service account settings, especially when working with Azure GovCloud.
* Activate the Azure Private Link Private Endpoint pattern to begin discovery and mapping, and configure discovery schedules accordingly.
* Review discovered data within both CMDB and non-CMDB tables to gain comprehensive insights into your Azure Private Link Private Endpoints and their relationships.  
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-private-link-private-endpoint__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-private-link-private-endpoint__cloud-discovery-api-ph-short-prereq}

Verify the Microsoft Azure discovery prerequisites{#azure-private-link-private-endpoint__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-private-link-private-endpoint__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-private-link-private-endpoint__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-private-link-private-endpoint__activating-disabled-pattern-not-customization}

Configure the Discovery schedule to support GovCloud{#azure-private-link-private-endpoint__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-private-link-private-endpoint__configure-govcloud-azure-dd}
{#azure-private-link-private-endpoint__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-private-link-private-endpoint__section_aq4_qkq_hfc}

Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application populates data in the non-CMDB table when running the Azure - Private Link Private Endpoint - 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.
