# Azure Resource Group

# Azure Resource Group pattern-based discovery {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia

![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns finds Azure Resource Groups in 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-resource-group-pattern__section_rpj_fj2_bgc}

Verify the Microsoft Azure discovery prerequisites
:   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.").

Configure the Discovery schedule to support GovCloud
:   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-resource-group-pattern__configure-govcloud-azure-dd}
{#azure-resource-group-pattern__configure-govcloud-azure-dd}

## Data collected by Discovery during horizontal discovery {#azure-resource-group-pattern__section_ggp_ql2_bgc}

Discovery populates the data in the CMDB when running the Azure - Resource Group (LP) pattern.  
{#azure-resource-group-pattern__table_mkf_2hc_dgc__entry__2}

| Field | Description |
|-|-|
| Name \[name\] | The Name or ID if no Name is specified for the resource group. |
| Object ID \[object_id\] | A unique identifier, allocated by Azure for this resource. |
| State \[state\] | The current state of the resource group. |
| Install Status \[install_status\] | Install status of the resource. Default value is Installed. |
| Location \[location\] | References the Azure Datacenter \[cmdb_ci_azure_datacenter\] table. |
[Table 1. Resource Group \[cmdb_ci_resource_group\]]

{#azure-resource-group-pattern__table_mkf_2hc_dgc}

## CI relationships and references {#azure-resource-group-pattern__section_dc4_ghc_dgc}

The Azure - Resource Group (LP) pattern creates the following relationships and references to support Azure Resource Group discovery. References link to records in other tables and don't appear in the CI Relationship \[cmdb_rel_ci\] table.  
{#azure-resource-group-pattern__table_bkg_jhc_dgc__entry__3}

| CI | Relationship | CI |
|-|-|-|
| Azure Datacenter \[cmdb_ci_azure_datacenter\] | Contains::Contained by | Resource Group \[cmdb_ci_resource_group\] |
[Table 2. CI relationships]

{#azure-resource-group-pattern__table_bkg_jhc_dgc}  
{#azure-resource-group-pattern__table_ci_references__entry__3}

| CI | Field | Referenced CI |
|-|-|-|
| Key Value \[cmdb_key_value\] | Configuration item \[configuration_item\] | Resource Group \[cmdb_ci_resource_group\] |
| Resource Group \[cmdb_ci_resource_group\] | Location \[location\] | Azure Datacenter \[cmdb_ci_azure_datacenter\] |
[Table 3. CI references]

{#azure-resource-group-pattern__table_ci_references}

## Azure Tag discovery {#azure-resource-group-pattern__section_lyw_zhc_dgc}

The Azure - Resource Group (LP) pattern collects tags and populates them in the Key Value \[cmdb_key_value\] table.  
{#azure-resource-group-pattern__table_ojy_vss_5hc__entry__2}

| Field | Description |
|-|-|
| Key \[key\] | Tag name. |
| Value \[value\] | Tag value. |
| Configuration item \[configuration_item\] | References the Resource Group \[cmdb_ci_resource_group\] table. |
[Table 4. Key Value \[cmdb_key_value\]]
