# AWS Security Group

# AWS Security Group pattern-based discovery {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil  
Updated June 16, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns finds AWS security groups in 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-security-group-pattern__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.").

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](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/AzWp20Be9IzaYIP2IRkfmg "Create AWS service accounts on the ServiceNow AI Platform to access your AWS account during AWS discovery.").

## Data collected by Discovery during horizontal discovery {#aws-security-group-pattern__section_ggp_ql2_bgc}

Discovery populates the data in the CMDB when running the Amazon AWS - Security Group (LP) pattern.  
{#aws-security-group-pattern__table_cmdb_ci_compute_security_group__entry__2}

| Field | Description |
|-|-|
| Name \[name\] | The name of the security group. |
| Object ID \[object_id\] | The ID of the security group. |
| State \[state\] | The current state of the security group. The value is set to available. |
| 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. |
[Table 1. Compute Security Group \[cmdb_ci_compute_security_group\]]

{#aws-security-group-pattern__table_cmdb_ci_compute_security_group}

## CI relationships and references {#aws-security-group-pattern__section_dc4_ghc_dgc}

The Amazon AWS - Security Group (LP) pattern creates the following relationships and references to support AWS Security Group discovery. References link to records in other tables and don't appear in the CI Relationship \[cmdb_rel_ci\] table.  
{#aws-security-group-pattern__table_relationships__entry__3}

| CI | Relationship | CI |
|-|-|-|
| Cloud Network \[cmdb_ci_network\] | Contains::Contained by | Compute Security Group \[cmdb_ci_compute_security_group\] |
| Compute Security Group \[cmdb_ci_compute_security_group\] | Hosted on::Hosts | AWS Datacenter \[cmdb_ci_aws_datacenter\] |

| Key Value \[cmdb_key_value\] | Configuration item \[configuration_item\] | Compute Security Group \[cmdb_ci_compute_security_group\] |
[Table 3. CI references]

{#aws-security-group-pattern__table_ci_references}

## AWS Tag discovery {#aws-security-group-pattern__section_lyw_zhc_dgc}

The Amazon AWS - Security Group (LP) pattern collects tags and populates them in the Key Value \[cmdb_key_value\] table.  
{#aws-security-group-pattern__table_ojy_vss_5hc__entry__2}

| Field | Description |
|-|-|
| Key \[key\] | Tag name. |
| Value \[value\] | Tag value. |
| Configuration item \[configuration_item\] | References the Compute Security Group \[cmdb_ci_compute_security_group\] table. |
[Table 4. Key Value \[cmdb_key_value\]]
