    Summary of AWS Batch Compute Environment pattern-based discovery

    The AWS Batch Compute Environment pattern-based discovery enables ServiceNow customers to identify and incorporate AWS services within their cloud environment. This process may require updating to the latest version of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application from the ServiceNow Store.

    Key Features

    • Prerequisites: Ensure that AWS discovery prerequisites are met. Refer to the relevant sections in the AWS documentation.
    • Resource Inclusion List: Remove any resources from the Resource Inclusion List to prevent duplicate discovery.
    • Pattern Activation: The relevant discovery pattern is disabled by default. Activating or deactivating it will not be considered a customization, and it will receive updates. Patterns reset to the latest version post-upgrade while maintaining the last active field value.
    • GovCloud Support: For AWS GovCloud accounts, a datacenter URL must be used when setting up an AWS service account.
    • Data Population: The application populates both CMDB and non-CMDB tables with data when running the Extended Inventory pattern for AWS Batch Compute Environment.

    Key Outcomes

    Data from AWS Batch Compute Environment is stored in two different tables: CMDB tables and non-CMDB tables. Key fields include Object Id, Name, Install Status, and Operational Status. Additionally, tags are collected and stored in the Key Value table, enhancing resource management and visibility.

    This structured approach to discovery ensures that ServiceNow customers can efficiently manage their AWS resources and maintain accurate configuration data within their environments.

    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 - Batch Compute Environment - 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 Batch - Compute Environment [cmdb_aws_batch_compute_environment]
    Field Description
    Object Id [object_id] The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) uniquely identifying the compute environment.
    Name [name] The name of the compute environment.
    Configuration Item [configuration_item] References the Cloud App Server [cmdb_ci_cloud_appserver] table.
    ECS Cluster ARN [ecs_cluster_arn] The ARN of the Amazon ECS cluster associated with the compute environment.

    Data stored in CMDB tables

    Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application populates data in the CMDB when running the Amazon AWS - Batch Compute Environment - Extended Inventory (LP) pattern.

    Table 2. Cloud App Server [cmdb_ci_cloud_appserver]
    Field Description
    Object ID [object_id] The ARN uniquely identifying the compute environment.
    Name [name] The name of the compute environment.
    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::Batch::ComputeEnvironment.

    CI relationships

    The Amazon AWS - Batch Compute Environment - Extended Inventory (LP) pattern creates these relationships to support AWS Batch Compute Environment discovery.

    CI Relationship CI
    Cloud App Server [cmdb_ci_cloud_appserver] Hosted on::Hosts AWS Datacenter [cmdb_ci_aws_datacenter]
    AWS Batch - Compute Environment [cmdb_aws_batch_compute_environment] References Cloud App Server [cmdb_ci_cloud_appserver]

    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.
