## Summary of Azure Recovery Services Vault pattern-based discovery

The Azure Recovery Services Vault pattern-based discovery enables ServiceNow customers to identify and map Azure Recovery Services Vault resources within their cloud environments using Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns.
This process integrates discovered data into both CMDB and non-CMDB tables, providing a comprehensive view of these Azure services.

## Prerequisites and Setup

* **REST API Permissions:** Customers must verify and grant the necessary REST API permissions based on the Cloud Discovery patterns spreadsheet, which details required permissions, pattern names, CI classes, and vendor documentation. This spreadsheet is updated quarterly.
* **Microsoft Azure Discovery Prerequisites:** Customers should review Azure-specific prerequisites as outlined in the Microsoft Azure Cloud discovery documentation.
* **Resource Inclusion List:** To prevent duplicate discoveries, ensure that relevant resources are not listed in the Resource Inclusion List table (\[sacloudinventoryresourcewhitelist\]).
* **Pattern Activation:** The Azure Recovery Services Vault pattern is disabled by default and must be enabled. Starting with Visibility Content version 6.28.0, enabling or disabling patterns is no longer considered a customization, allowing automatic updates while maintaining previous activation states.
* **Discovery Schedule for GovCloud:** When discovering Azure GovCloud (US) accounts, configure the discovery schedule using the appropriate datacenter URL in the Azure service account setup.

## Data Storage and Tables

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

* **Non-CMDB Tables:** Running the *Azure - Recovery Services Vault - Extended Inventory (LP)* pattern populates Azure-specific non-CMDB tables, accessible under **All \> Configuration \> Azure** . Key fields in the **Azure Recovery Services - Vault \[cmdbazurerecoveryservicesvault\]** table include Object Id, Kind, Location, Resource Group, Subscription Id, Tenant Id, Provisioning State, and references to the Cloud Resource table.
* **CMDB Tables:** The same pattern also populates the **Cloud Resource \[cmdbcicmpresource\]** table with details such as Object ID, Name, Location, Install Status (default Installed), Operational Status (default Operational), and Resource Type (set as microsoft.recoveryservices/vaults).

## CI Relationships

The pattern establishes key configuration item (CI) relationships to support discovery and mapping, including:

* Resource Group contains Cloud Resource
* Cloud Resource is contained by Resource Group
* Cloud Resource hosts Azure Datacenter
* Azure Recovery Services Vault references Cloud Resource

## Azure Tag Discovery

The pattern collects Azure resource tags and stores them in the **Key Value \[cmdbkeyvalue\]** table, capturing tag names and values. This supports enhanced resource categorization and management within the CMDB.

## Benefits for ServiceNow Customers

By implementing Azure Recovery Services Vault pattern-based discovery, customers can automate the identification and inventory of Azure Recovery Services Vaults, maintain up-to-date CMDB records, and leverage integrated tag data for improved resource management. The structured CI relationships enable efficient dependency mapping and operational insights into Azure Recovery Services within ServiceNow.  
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-recovery-services-vault__selection_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-recovery-services-vault__cloud-discovery-api-ph-short-prereq}

Verify the Microsoft Azure discovery prerequisites{#azure-recovery-services-vault__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-recovery-services-vault__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-recovery-services-vault__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-recovery-services-vault__activating-disabled-pattern-not-customization}

Configure the Discovery schedule to support GovCloud{#azure-recovery-services-vault__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-recovery-services-vault__configure-govcloud-azure-dd}
{#azure-recovery-services-vault__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-recovery-services-vault__section_aq4_qkq_hfc}

Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application populates data in the non-CMDB table when running the Azure - Recovery Services Vault - 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.
