    Key Features

    • AWS Discovery Prerequisites: Customers should verify prerequisites for AWS discovery as detailed in the relevant section.
    • Resource Inclusion List Management: Before discovery, confirm that the relevant resource is not included in the Resource Inclusion List to prevent duplicate entries.
    • Pattern Activation: The discovery pattern for this service is disabled by default. Activating or deactivating a pattern will not count as a customization and will receive updates post-upgrade.
    • GovCloud Discovery Configuration: For AWS GovCloud accounts, use a datacenter URL when setting up your AWS service account.
    • Data Population: The application populates both CMDB and non-CMDB tables with data during the discovery process.

    Key Outcomes

    Utilizing the Amazon AWS - Redshift Serverless Workgroup - Extended Inventory pattern allows for comprehensive data management in both CMDB and non-CMDB tables. Key fields include resource identification through Object IDs, names, statuses, and types, facilitating effective inventory control and operational oversight.

    This pattern also establishes critical relationships between the discovered resources and the Cloud Database, enhancing visibility and management capabilities within the ServiceNow platform.

    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 Workgroup - 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 - Workgroup [cmdb_aws_redshift_serverless_workgroup]
    Field Description
    Object Id [object_id] The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that uniquely identifies the resource.
    Name [name] The name assigned to the resource or workgroup.
    Status [status] The current operational status of the resource or workgroup.
    Configuration Item [configuration_item] References the Cloud DataBase [cmdb_ci_cloud_database] table.
    Workgroup ID [workgroup_id] The unique identifier for the Redshift Serverless workgroup.

    Data stored in CMDB tables

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

    Table 2. Cloud DataBase [cmdb_ci_cloud_database]
    Field Description
    Object ID [object_id] The ARN that uniquely identifies the resource.
    Name [name] The name assigned to the resource or workgroup.
    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::Workgroup.

    CI relationships

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

    CI Relationship CI
    Cloud DataBase [cmdb_ci_cloud_database] Hosted on::Hosts AWS Datacenter [cmdb_ci_aws_datacenter]
    AWS Redshift Serverless - Workgroup [cmdb_aws_redshift_serverless_workgroup] 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.
