# AWS Backup Vault pattern-based discovery {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil

Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns finds AWS Backup Vaults on your cloud environment. Discovering some of these resources might require updating to the latest version of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application from the ServiceNow Store.

## Pattern-based discovery and mapping requirements {#aws-backup-vault__section_rpj_fj2_bgc}

Verify the AWS discovery prerequisites
:   For more information, see the prerequisites section in [AWS discovery using patterns](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/Y0yjdHKR~_I76hi21l9C4A "Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns uses patterns to discover components of the Amazon AWS Cloud deployment during horizontal discovery. Discovering some of these resources might require updating to the latest version of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application from the ServiceNow Store.").

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](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/eAqnoZkp8ZHs8uc6u0w1jQ "The ServiceNow Discovery and Service Mapping applications can find and map the AWS resources available by AWS Config Service. Discovering some of these resources might require updating to the latest version of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application from the ServiceNow Store.").

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](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/FMsw6rb9elo1cmkEw_pOug "If you want to use a pattern for discovery that's disabled by default, activate it manually.").{#aws-backup-vault__activating-disabled-pattern-not-customization}
Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application populates data in both CMDB and non-CMDB tables.

## Data stored in non-CMDB tables {#aws-backup-vault__section_aq4_qkq_hfc}

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

You can review the non-CMDB
AWS tables by navigating to AllConfigurationAWS. You can also search the navigation filter for the specific pattern name.  
{#aws-backup-vault__table_non_cmdb__entry__2}

| Field | Description |
|-|-|
| Name \[name\] | Name of the AWS Backup Vault. |
| Object ID \[object_id\] | Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that uniquely identifies the backup vault. |
| Max Retention Days \[max_retention_days\] | Maximum number of days a recovery point can be retained in the backup vault. |
| Number of Recovery Points \[number_of_recovery_points\] | Number of recovery points stored in the backup vault. |
| Vault State \[vault_state\] | Current state of the backup vault. |
| Vault Type \[vault_type\] | Type of the backup vault. |
| Configuration Item \[configuration_item\] | References the Cloud Resource \[cmdb_ci_cmp_resource\] table. |
[Table 1. AWS Backup Backup Vault \[cmdb_aws_backup_backup_vault\]]

{#aws-backup-vault__table_non_cmdb}

## Data stored in CMDB tables {#aws-backup-vault__section_ggp_ql2_bgc}

Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application populates data in the CMDB when running the Amazon AWS - Backup Backup Vault - Extended Inventory (LP) pattern.  
{#aws-backup-vault__table_cmdb__entry__2}

| Field | Description |
|-|-|
| Object ID \[object_id\] | ARN that uniquely identifies the backup vault. |

{#aws-backup-vault__table_cmdb}

## CI relationships {#aws-backup-vault__section_dc4_ghc_dgc}

The Amazon AWS - Backup Backup Vault - Extended Inventory (LP) pattern creates the following relationships and references to support AWS Backup Vault discovery. References link to records in other tables and don't appear in the CI Relationship \[cmdb_rel_ci\] table.  
{#aws-backup-vault__table_relationships__entry__3}

| CI | Relationship | CI |
|-|-|-|
| Cloud Resource \[cmdb_ci_cmp_resource\] | Hosted on::Hosts | AWS Datacenter \[cmdb_ci_aws_datacenter\] |
[Table 3. CI relationships]

{#aws-backup-vault__table_relationships}

| AWS Backup Backup Vault \[cmdb_aws_backup_backup_vault\] | Configuration Item \[configuration_item\] | Cloud Resource \[cmdb_ci_cmp_resource\] |
| Key Value \[cmdb_key_value\] | Configuration item \[configuration_item\] | Cloud Resource \[cmdb_ci_cmp_resource\] |
[Table 4. CI references]

{#aws-backup-vault__table_ci_references}

## AWS Tag discovery {#aws-backup-vault__section_lyw_zhc_dgc}

The Amazon AWS - Backup Backup Vault - Extended Inventory (LP) pattern collects tags and populates them in the Key Value \[cmdb_key_value\] table.  
{#aws-backup-vault__table_ojy_vss_5hc__entry__2}

| Field | Description |
|-|-|
| Key \[key\] | Tag name. |
