    Summary of Amazon Redshift Serverless Snapshot Pattern-Based Discovery

    The Amazon Redshift Serverless Snapshot pattern-based discovery enables the identification and mapping of AWS services within your cloud environment. To utilize this feature effectively, it is essential to ensure that your Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application is up to date.

    Key Features

    • Discovery Prerequisites: Verify that all prerequisites for AWS discovery are met before starting the process.
    • Resource Inclusion List: Ensure that the relevant AWS resources are not included in the Resource Inclusion List to prevent duplicate discoveries.
    • Pattern Activation: The Amazon Redshift Serverless Snapshot pattern is disabled by default. With Visibility Content version 6.28.0 and later, activating or deactivating this pattern will not be considered a customization, and it will continue to receive updates.
    • Discovery Schedule for GovCloud: To discover AWS GovCloud accounts, a datacenter URL must be used when setting up the AWS service account.
    • Data Population: The discovery process populates both CMDB and non-CMDB tables based on the executed pattern.

    Key Outcomes

    Utilizing the Amazon Redshift Serverless Snapshot pattern allows for comprehensive data collection, including:

    • CMDB Tables: Key information is stored in CMDB tables, including unique identifiers, resource names, resource types, and operational statuses.
    • Non-CMDB Tables: Data related to the AWS Redshift Serverless Snapshot is also stored in non-CMDB tables, providing additional insights into the resources.
    • CI Relationships: The pattern establishes relationships between Amazon Redshift Serverless Snapshots and other cloud resources, enhancing the visibility of your cloud environment.
    • AWS Tag Discovery: Tags associated with resources are collected and stored, allowing for better organization and management of cloud assets.

    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 Snapshot - 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 - Snapshot [cmdb_aws_redshift_serverless_snapshot]
    Field Description
    Object Id [object_id] The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) uniquely identifying the resource.
    Name [name] The user-defined name of the resource.
    Status [status] The current state or condition of the resource.
    Configuration Item [configuration_item] References the Cloud Resource [cmdb_ci_cmp_resource] table.

    Data stored in CMDB tables

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

    Table 2. Cloud Resource [cmdb_ci_cmp_resource]
    Field Description
    Object ID [object_id] The ARN uniquely identifying the resource.
    Name [name] The user-defined name of the resource.
    Resource type [resource_type] Type of resource. The value is set to AWS::Redshift Serverless::Snapshot.
    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.

    CI relationships

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

    CI Relationship CI
    Cloud Resource [cmdb_ci_cmp_resource] Hosted on::Hosts AWS Datacenter [cmdb_ci_aws_datacenter]
    AWS Redshift Serverless - Snapshot [cmdb_aws_redshift_serverless_snapshot] References Cloud Resource [cmdb_ci_cmp_resource]

    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.
