    • Cloud Discovery uses Patterns to discover certificate data that the GCP Certificate Manager manages. Discovering this data requires installing and updating Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns and Certificate Inventory and Management.

    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 configuration of an GCP account
    For more information, see Discovery for cloud environment
    Verify the installation of the plugins
    Certificate Inventory and Management (sn_disco_certmgmt), at least 3.4.0
    Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns (sn_itom_pattern), at least 1.12.0
    Verify the configuration of the system property
    When the system property sn_itom_pattern.issuer_certificate_search_by_idn is set to False, Discovery uses the certificate fingerprints to find issuers and root issuers.
    Verify the MID Server requirements
    The MID Server must have either ALL capability or GCP capability.
    Verify the configuration of Cloud Discovery schedule
    For more information, see Create a discovery schedule in Cloud Discovery Workspace

    Verify the REST API Permissions

    Download the Cloud Discovery patterns spreadsheet 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.

    Data collected by Discovery during horizontal discovery

    The Google Cloud Platform (GCP) - Certificate Manager Certificates pattern and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) - Classic Certificates pattern support the discovery of the following table and fields.
    Field Description
    Unique Certificates [cmdb_ci_certificate] ​
    Name

    The host name/domain associated with the certificate.

    For example, *.service-now.com
    Serial Number The serial number of the certificate. For example, 70 d8 c9 52 77 1c 2d 54 97 00 0e 21 05 84 dd 76 b5 e8 c1 73
    Subject common name

    The host name/domain associated with the certificate. For example, *.service-now.com
    Subject distinguished name

    The distinguished name of the entity that the certificate is issued to.​

    The subject distinguished name consists of the following
    • Common name (CN).
    • Organization (O)- The organization that owns the domain that the certificate is issued to.
