    Summary of Amazon Redshift Serverless Namespace pattern-based discovery

    This pattern-based discovery enables ServiceNow customers to discover Amazon Redshift Serverless Namespaces within their AWS cloud environment using the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application. It supports populating detailed configuration and relationship data in both Configuration Management Database (CMDB) and non-CMDB tables, providing comprehensive visibility into AWS Redshift Serverless resources.

    Key Features

    • Pattern Activation: The Amazon Redshift Serverless Namespace discovery pattern is disabled by default and requires enabling. Starting with Visibility Content version 6.28.0, activating or deactivating patterns is not treated as a customization, ensuring smooth updates.
    • AWS Discovery Prerequisites: Customers must verify AWS discovery prerequisites and ensure the relevant resources are not included in the Resource Inclusion List to prevent duplicate discoveries.
    • Support for AWS GovCloud: Discovery supports AWS GovCloud (US) accounts by requiring specific datacenter URLs in AWS service account configurations.
    • Data Population:
      • Non-CMDB Tables: The pattern populates non-CMDB AWS-specific tables such as cmdbawsredshiftserverlessnamespace, which contains fields like ARN, namespace name, database name, and unique namespace ID.
      • CMDB Tables: It populates the cmdbciclouddatabase table with resource metadata including install status, operational status, and resource type set to AWS::Redshift Serverless::Namespace.
    • Configuration Item Relationships: The discovery creates relationships linking Redshift Serverless Namespaces to their corresponding Cloud Databases and AWS Datacenters, enriching CMDB relational data.
    • AWS Tag Collection: Tags associated with namespaces are collected and stored in the cmdbkeyvalue table, enabling tag-based management and reporting.

    Practical Considerations

    • Ensure the latest version of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application is installed for best results.
    • Remove relevant resources from the Resource Inclusion List to avoid duplicate discovery entries.
    • Configure discovery schedules and AWS service accounts properly, especially for AWS GovCloud environments.
    • Review discovered data in both CMDB and non-CMDB tables to gain a full understanding of your Redshift Serverless Namespaces.

    Benefits

    By leveraging this pattern, ServiceNow customers can automate the discovery and mapping of Amazon Redshift Serverless Namespaces, maintain accurate and up-to-date CMDB records, and enhance cloud resource visibility and governance within their AWS environment.

    Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns finds AWS services 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 AWS discovery prerequisites
    For more information, see the prerequisites section in AWS discovery using patterns.
    Remove resources from the Resource Inclusion List table
    Verify that the relevant resource isn't listed in the Resource Inclusion List [sa_cloud_inventory_resource_whitelist] table to avoid duplicate discovery. For more information on removing resources from the Resource Inclusion List, see AWS Resource Inventory discovery with Patterns.
    Enable the relevant pattern
    The pattern for this service is disabled by default. Starting with Visibility Content version 6.28.0, activating or deactivating a pattern won't be considered a customization, and it will continue to receive updates. Patterns that were previously activated or deactivated will reset to the latest predefined version after upgrading while retaining the last active field value. For more information on enabling patterns, see Activate a disabled pattern.
    Configure the Discovery schedule to support GovCloud
    Discovering AWS GovCloud (US) accounts requires using a datacenter URL when setting up an AWS service account. For more information, see Create AWS service accounts.

    Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application populates data in both CMDB and non-CMDB tables.

    Data stored in non-CMDB tables

    Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application populates data in the non-CMDB table when running the Amazon AWS - Redshift Serverless Namespace - Extended Inventory (LP) pattern.

    You can review the non-CMDB AWS tables by navigating to All > Configuration > AWS. You can also search the navigation filter for the specific pattern name.

    Table 1. AWS Redshift Serverless - Namespace [cmdb_aws_redshift_serverless_namespace]
    Field Description
    Object Id [object_id] The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) uniquely identifying the namespace.
    Name [name] The name assigned to the Redshift Serverless namespace.
    Configuration Item [configuration_item] References the Cloud DataBase [cmdb_ci_cloud_database] table.
    DB Name [db_name] The name of the database associated with the namespace.
    Namespace ID [namespace_id] The unique identifier assigned to the Redshift Serverless namespace.

    Data stored in CMDB tables

    Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application populates data in the CMDB when running the Amazon AWS - Redshift Serverless Namespace - Extended Inventory (LP) pattern.

    Table 2. Cloud DataBase [cmdb_ci_cloud_database]
    Field Description
    Object ID [object_id] The ARN uniquely identifying the namespace.
    Name [name] The name assigned to the Redshift Serverless namespace.
    Install Status [install_status] Install status of the resource. Default value is Installed.
    Operational status [operational_status] Operational status of the resource. Default value is Operational.
    Type [type] Type of resource. The value is set to AWS::Redshift Serverless::Namespace.

    CI relationships

    The Amazon AWS - Redshift Serverless Namespace - Extended Inventory (LP) pattern creates these relationships to support Amazon Redshift Serverless Namespace discovery.

    CI Relationship CI
    Cloud DataBase [cmdb_ci_cloud_database] Hosted on::Hosts AWS Datacenter [cmdb_ci_aws_datacenter]
    AWS Redshift Serverless - Namespace [cmdb_aws_redshift_serverless_namespace] References Cloud DataBase [cmdb_ci_cloud_database]

    AWS tag discovery

    The pattern collects tags and populates them in the Key Value [cmdb_key_value] table.
    Table 3. Key Value [cmdb_key_value]
    Field Description
    Key [key] Tag name.
    Value [value] Tag value.
