    • The Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application uses the Azure - Functions (LP) and Azure - Functions TD Patterns to discover Azure Functions apps and map them in the context of application services. Discovering some of these resources may require updating to the latest version of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application from the ServiceNow Store.

    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.

    Connections found by Service Mapping during top-down discovery

    Service Mapping can discover the following connections:
    • Connections to the following databases: MSSql, MySql, MongoDB, and Documentum.
    • HTTP connections belonging to Azure Functions environment, for example, https://scenario4-hop1-azure-function.azurewebsites.net.
      Remarque :
      Service Mapping does not scan java classes/jars and binary files for possible information about outgoing HTTP connections of Azure Functions. If java classes/jars and binary files are the only source of information about some outgoing HTTP connections, Service Mapping does not find such HTTP connections.
