## Summary of Microsoft Foundry (new) pattern-based discovery

This documentation covers the Microsoft Foundry (new) pattern-based discovery feature available in the AI Agent Topology Mapping application as part of the ServiceNow platform.
It enables automated discovery of Microsoft Foundry services, agents, models, and related resources during horizontal discovery in Azure environments.
Customers can leverage this to populate both CMDB and non-CMDB tables with detailed configuration data and relationships for enhanced visibility and management of AI assets in their cloud infrastructure.

## Key Features

* **Discovery Patterns:** Includes specific patterns such as Azure - AI New Foundry Agents, Azure - AI Service Foundry, Azure - AI Service Foundry Project, and Azure - AI Foundry Models to collect detailed digital asset information.
* **Data Model:** Populates multiple CMDB tables representing AI Functions, Azure AI Foundry services, AI Projects, and AI Model Deployments. Also populates non-CMDB tables with AI System Digital Assets, AI Prompts, and AI Models linked to their respective product models.
* **Dependency Mapping:** Supports visualization of discovered resources and their relationships in Dependency Views, aiding in topology understanding and impact analysis.
* **Azure Tag Discovery:** Captures Azure resource tags and stores them in the Key Value table linked to respective discovered CIs.
* **Permissions \& Requirements:** Requires verifying REST API permissions and keeping several ServiceNow Store applications up to date, including AI Agent Topology Mapping and Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns.
* **Cloud Integration:** Supports discovery of Azure GovCloud environments and includes features for improved query performance by populating Service Account and Logical Datacenter fields directly in cloud CIs.
* **Operational Readiness:** Involves operational steps such as enabling cloud-related CI relationships, cleaning up pre-populated Azure Availability Sets, and registering Azure subscription features for zone peering.

## Practical Application and Benefits

ServiceNow customers using this feature can expect comprehensive and structured discovery of Microsoft Foundry AI assets within their Azure cloud environment. This enables:

* Accurate and up-to-date representation of AI-related services, agents, and models in the CMDB.
* Enhanced service mapping and dependency visualization for effective impact analysis and service management.
* Improved operational insight by integrating Azure-specific metadata such as tags and regions.
* Streamlined cloud discovery processes with options to focus on new subscriptions and optimized query performance.

By implementing these discovery patterns and adhering to the setup requirements, customers can ensure their CMDB reflects the current state of AI assets in Microsoft Foundry, supporting governance, compliance, and operational efficiency.  
AI Agent Topology Mapping discovers Microsoft Foundry (new) services, agents, and models during horizontal discovery.

Figure 1. Tables and relationships populated during Microsoft Foundry discovery

## Discovery requirements {#microsoft-foundry-new-pattern__section_prerequisites}

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.{#microsoft-foundry-new-pattern__cloud-discovery-api-ph-short-prereq}

Verify that the applications are up to date
:   Discovering these resources may require updating to the latest version of the following applications from the ServiceNow Store:

    * AI Agent Topology Mapping
    * Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns
    * Visibility Content
    * CMDB CI Class Models
    * Data Foundation Model (at least version 1.13.2)
    {#microsoft-foundry-new-pattern__ul_dlg_343_23c}

Activate the cloud-related CI relationships
:   To include discovered components into service instances, enable CI relationships used in tag-based discovery by Service Mapping. These CI relationships are available from the 1.0.68 release on the ServiceNow Store. For operational steps, see [Tag-based discovery configuration](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/__DAxI4a5uhCxFO3rZLOcw "You can refine the default configuration to control which CIs Service Mapping includes in application services during the tag-based discovery process.").

Azure Availability Set
:   Wait for the Clean-Up job for Availability zone to clear availability set record schedule job to delete all the pre-populated Configuration Items (CIs) in the
    cmdb_ci_azure_availability_set table.

Azure Availability Zone

:   To run a discovery with Azure Availability Zone, register the subscription ID to the AvailabilityZonePeering feature with AZ CLI using `az feature register -n AvailabilityZonePeering
    --namespace Microsoft.Resources` to use the Check Zone Peering API. Check the status with `az feature show -n AvailabilityZonePeering --namespace Microsoft.Resources` before running
    discovery.

Set up Azure service accounts
:   Enable Cloud Discovery to access your Azure environment.
:   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.").

Create an Azure cloud discovery schedule
:   For more information, see [Create an Azure Discovery schedule in Discovery Admin Workspace](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/vEwZOELmMZR7env7iKxTSg "Use the Discovery Admin Workspace dashboard to create an Azure Discovery schedule.").

(Optional) Discover datacenters only for new subscriptions
:   Starting with Zurich Patch 2, you can discover datacenters only for new subscriptions added since the last discovery. For more information, see [Discover datacenters only for new cloud accounts](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/ny0cMnbjtY6VKnTSbeirWw "If you have multiple cloud accounts and datacenters in AWS and Azure, you can discover datacenters for new cloud accounts only, instead of refreshing the entire list.").

(Optional) Populate Service Account and Logical Datacenter fields in cloud CIs
:   Starting with Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns version 1.30.2, you can improve query performance by populating Service Account and Logical Datacenter fields directly in cloud CIs. For more information, see [Improved query performance with direct field population in CI tables](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/dikZ2lIS1bNpgxWtTOukSQ "The Populate Service Account and LDC IN CMDB scheduled job populates the Service Account and Logical Datacenter fields in cloud configuration item (CI) tables, and the Virtual Machine Object field in the Hardware [cmdb_ci_hardware] table. This direct population reduces query complexity and improves query performance.").

## Data collection {#microsoft-foundry-new-pattern__section_rzg_fc5_l3c}

The AI Agent Topology Mapping application includes the following patterns for Microsoft Foundry discovery:

* Azure - AI New Foundry Agents
* Azure - AI Service Foundry
* Azure - AI Service Foundry Project
* Azure - AI Foundry Models
{#microsoft-foundry-new-pattern__ul_zxh_md5_l3c}

The Azure - AI New Foundry Agents pattern collects AI System Digital Assets, AI Prompt Digital Assets, and Key Value information. You can view this information in the Related Links section of the CI record by
navigating to AllConfigurationAzureAzure AI Foundry Agents and selecting the relevant record.

The Azure - AI Foundry Models pattern collects AI Model Digital Assets. You can view this information in the Related Links section of the CI record by navigating to AllConfigurationAzureAzure AI Foundry Models and selecting the relevant record.

The AI Agent Topology Mapping application populates data in both CMDB and non-CMDB tables.

## Data stored in non-CMDB tables {#microsoft-foundry-new-pattern__section_non_cmdb}

The AI Agent Topology Mapping application populates data in non-CMDB tables when running the Microsoft Foundry patterns.

If you have the AI Control Tower application, you can view the information in the AI Control Tower Workspace.
