    • Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns finds GCP SSH keys stored in project metadata on your cloud environment. Discovering some of these resources may require updating to the latest version of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application from the ServiceNow Store.

    Pattern-based discovery and mapping requirements

    Verify the GCP discovery prerequisites section in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Cloud discovery using Patterns.

    Data collected by Discovery during horizontal discovery

    Discovery populates the data in the CMDB when running the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) - SSH Keys pattern.

    Tableau 1. Cloud Service Account [cmdb_ci_cloud_service_account]
    Field Description
    Account Id [account_id] Name of the project used for the discovery.
    Object ID [object_id] Name of the project used for the discovery.
    Datacenter Type [datacenter_type] Datacenter type: Google Datacenter [cmdb_ci_google_datacenter].
    Tableau 2. Availability Zone [cmdb_ci_availability_zone]
    Field Description
    Name [name] Name of the availability zone.
    Description [short_description] Description of the availability zone.
    State [state] State of the Availability Zone. Possible values are Available or Terminated.
    Tableau 3. Google Datacenter [cmdb_ci_google_datacenter]
    Field Description
    Name [name] Datacenter or region name.
    Region [region] Datacenter or region name.
    Object ID [object_id] Unique identifier allocated by GCP for this resource.
    Description [short_description] Datacenter or region description.
    Tableau 4. Cloud Key Pair [cmdb_ci_cloud_key_pair]
    Field Description
    Name [name] The username associated with the SSH key.
    Object ID [object_id] The SSH public key used for authentication to Compute Engine virtual machines.
    Install Status [install_status] Install status of the resource. Default value is Installed.

    CI relationships

    The Google Cloud Platform (GCP) - SSH Keys pattern creates these relationships to support GCP SSH key discovery.
