    Key Features

    • Pattern Activation: The relevant discovery pattern for Redshift Serverless is initially disabled. Starting with Visibility Content version 6.28.0, activating or deactivating this pattern will not be considered a customization, ensuring continuous updates.
    • Resource Inclusion List: Before discovery, ensure the relevant resource is not listed in the Resource Inclusion List to prevent duplicate entries.
    • Data Population: Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns populate data in both non-CMDB and CMDB tables, providing comprehensive resource information.
    • CI Relationships: The discovery pattern establishes connections between the Redshift Serverless namespace and other CI components, enhancing relationship visibility.
    • AWS Tag Discovery: The pattern collects and stores AWS tags in the Key Value table for better resource categorization and management.

    Key Outcomes

    By following the outlined steps, customers will achieve effective discovery of Amazon Redshift Serverless namespaces, leading to improved cloud resource management and visibility. Customers can expect accurate data storage in both CMDB and non-CMDB tables, streamlined updates with pattern management, and enhanced operational insights through CI relationships and tag collections.

    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.
