    • The ServiceNow Discovery and Service Mapping applications use the Amazon AWS API Gateway pattern to find Amazon API Gateways and connections to other entities. Discovering some of these resources may require updating to the latest version of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application from the ServiceNow Store.

    Starting with Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns version 1.29.0, the Amazon AWS API Gateway pattern data model has changed.

    Request apps on the Store

    Visit the ServiceNow Store to view all the available apps, and for information about submitting requests to the store. For cumulative release notes information for all released apps, see the ServiceNow Store version history release notes.

    Prerequisites

    Verify the AWS prerequisites
    For more information, see the prerequisite section in AWS discovery using patterns.
    Retire legacy data model CIs to avoid duplicates
    To avoid duplicate CIs, activate a schedule job to mark legacy data model CIs as retired. For more information, see Retire legacy AWS API Gateway data model CIs.

    Data collected by Discovery during horizontal discovery

    Discovery populates the data in the CMDB when running the Amazon AWS API Gateway pattern.

    Tabelle : 1. AWS API Gateway [cmdb_ci_aws_api_gateway]
    Field Description
    Name [name] Concatenate of "aws-gateway-" + account ID + region.

    For example: aws-gateway-000000000000-us-east-1.
    ID [id] Concatenate of "aws-gateway-" + account ID + region.

    For example: aws-gateway-000000000000-us-east-1.
    Install Status [install_status] Install status of the AWS gateway. Default value is Installed.
    Operational status [operational_status] Operational status of the AWS gateway. Default value is Operational.
    Tabelle : 2. Managed API [cmdb_ci_managed_api]
    Field Description
    ID [id] Concatenate of "https://" + API ID + ".execute-api." + region + ".amazonaws.com".

    For example: https://a1b2c3d4e5.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com.
    Name [name] Name of the API.
    Description [short_description] Description of API.
    Install Status [install_status] Install status of the API. Default value is Installed.
    Operational status [operational_status] Operational status of the API. Default value is Operational.
    Type [type] Type of API: REST.
    Version [version] Version of API.
    Fully qualified domain name [fqdn] Concatenate of API ID + ".execute-api." + region + ".amazonaws.com".

    For example: a1b2c3d4e5.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com.
    Tabelle : 3. DNS Name [cmdb_ci_dns_name]
    Field Description
    Name [name] Unique name or IP address of the DNS host.
    IP Address [ip_address] IP address of the DNS host.

    Relationships

    Discovery creates these relationships to support Amazon API Gateway discovery.

    CI Relationship CI
    AWS API Gateway [cmdb_ci_aws_api_gateway] Provides::Provided by Managed API [cmdb_ci_managed_api]
    Managed API [cmdb_ci_managed_api] Hosted on::Hosts AWS Datacenter [cmdb_ci_aws_datacenter]
    Managed API [cmdb_ci_managed_api] Uses::Used by DNS Name [cmdb_ci_dns_name]
    DNS Name [cmdb_ci_dns_name] Hosted on::Hosts AWS Datacenter [cmdb_ci_aws_datacenter]
    Key Value [cmdb_key_value] References Managed API [cmdb_ci_managed_api]

    Tag discovery

    The Amazon AWS API Gateway pattern collects tags and populates them in the Key Value [cmdb_key_value] table.

    Tabelle : 4. Key Value [cmdb_key_value]
    Field Description
    Key [key] Tag name.
    Value [value] Tag value.
    Configuration item [configuration_item] References the Managed API [cmdb_ci_managed_api] table.

    Connections discovered by Service Mapping during the top-down discovery

    Service Mapping performs the top-down discovery of the AWS API Gateways in the context of application services. It discovers outgoing connections of the AWS API Gateways:
    • AWS Lambda
    • VPC Link for Virtual Private Cloud
    • HTTP endpoint defined as the configured URL on the API Gateway
