This process helps you populate the Configuration Management Database (CMDB) with accurate and detailed information about your OCI Autonomous Databases, supporting effective cloud resource management and service visibility. Show full answer Show less ## Key Features * **Pattern-Based Discovery:** Uses specific Discovery patterns to detect Autonomous Databases in OCI environments, requiring the latest Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application from the ServiceNow Store. * **REST API Permissions:** Requires proper REST API user permissions, which can be configured using the downloadable Cloud Discovery patterns spreadsheet. This spreadsheet also provides details on pattern names, types, CI classes, and vendor documentation. * **OCI Discovery Prerequisites:** Must verify and fulfill OCI discovery prerequisites as outlined in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure discovery documentation. * **GovCloud Support:** Supports discovery in OCI GovCloud environments by configuring OCI service accounts with appropriate datacenter URLs. * **Data Collection:** Populates the CMDB table *cmdbciclouddatabase* with key Autonomous Database attributes such as name, object ID, version, type, vendor, lifecycle state, operational status, and comments. * **CI Relationships and References:** Establishes relationships linking Autonomous Databases to OCI Datacenters and references to vendor companies and key-value tag data, supporting comprehensive configuration item context. * **OCI Tag Discovery:** Collects OCI tags and stores them in the *cmdbkeyvalue* table for enhanced metadata management. ## What Customers Can Expect By implementing OCI Autonomous DB pattern-based discovery, ServiceNow customers gain automated visibility into Autonomous Databases running in their OCI environments. This enables better asset tracking, lifecycle management, and service mapping. The discovery process ensures accurate CMDB entries with detailed attributes and relationships, which supports operational decision-making and integration with other ServiceNow applications. Customers should ensure they keep Discovery patterns updated quarterly, configure necessary permissions, and follow OCI prerequisites to maintain continuous, reliable discovery results. Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns finds Autonomous Databases (DB) in your OCI 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 {#oracle-autonomous-db-pattern__section_oci_adb_requirements} 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.{#oracle-autonomous-db-pattern__cloud-discovery-api-ph-short-prereq} Verify the OCI discovery prerequisites : For more information, see the prerequisites section in [Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) discovery](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/cQhDQlR5AKA0e3vdDdSSGg "ServiceNow Discovery uses the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) discovery patterns to provide real-time elasticity for enterprise applications by combining Oracle autonomous services, integrated security, and cloud compute. 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 OCI GovCloud accounts requires using a datacenter URL when setting up an OCI service account. For more information, see [Create OCI service accounts](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/Mfvl~mYZP9TwzjqAPuihqA "Create Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) service accounts on the ServiceNow AI Platform to access your Oracle account during Oracle discovery."). ## Data collected by Discovery during horizontal discovery {#oracle-autonomous-db-pattern__section_oci_adb_data} Discovery populates the data in the CMDB when running the Oracle OCI - Autonomous DB (LP) pattern. {#oracle-autonomous-db-pattern__table_oci_adb_cloud_database__entry__2} | Field | Description | |-|-| | Name \[name\] | Name of the database in the format \@\. | | Object ID \[object_id\] | Unique identifier of the Autonomous Database. | | Version \[version\] | Version of the database. | | Type \[type\] | Type of the database in the format Oracle Autonomous - \. | | Vendor \[vendor\] | References the Company \[core_company\] table. | | State \[state\] | State of the database, based on its lifecycle state in OCI.
