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 {#azure-events-pattern__section_rpj_fj2_bgc} Verify the Azure discovery prerequisites section in [Microsoft Azure Cloud discovery using patterns](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/s9SHZxzsnOR4TZKkvmJG9A "Discovery uses multiple patterns to discover components of the Microsoft Azure 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."). ## Verify the REST API permissions {#azure-events-pattern__id_v1z_wwc_tkc} Download the [Cloud Discovery patterns spreadsheet](https://downloads.docs.servicenow.com/resource/enus/api/servicenow-discovery-patterns-api-details.xlsx) so you can grant user permissions required for running the Discovery patterns. In addition to permissions, the spreadsheet also includes useful information such as pattern names, types, CI Classes, and links to vendor documentation. New patterns are available quarterly, so check periodically to be sure you have the latest version of the spreadsheet.{#azure-events-pattern__cloud-discovery-api-ph-short-prereq} ## Events discovered by Discovery during horizontal discovery {#azure-events-pattern__section_glt_jsd_mmb} Discovery uses patterns to find events created for Microsoft Azure Cloud components. If there are events that indicate the change of state in one of the Microsoft Azure Cloud components, it triggers the discovery of Microsoft Azure Cloud components using the patterns. {#azure-events-pattern__table_fmp_4td_mmb__entry__2} | Pattern | CI | |-|-| | Azure Application LB Event | Cloud Load Balancer \[cmdb_ci_cloud_load_balancer\] | | Azure Availability Set Event | Availability Set \[cmdb_ci_availability_set\] | | Azure Classic LB Event | Cloud Load Balancer \[cmdb_ci_cloud_load_balancer\] | | Azure DataBase Event | Cloud DataBase \[cmdb_ci_cloud_database\] | | Azure Express Route Circuit Event | Cloud Direct Connect \[cmdb_ci_cloud_direct_connect\] | | Azure Functions Event | Cloud Function \[cmdb_ci_cloud_function\] | | Azure Local Network Gateway Event | Virtual Private Gateway \[cmdb_ci_virtual_pvt_gateway\] | | Azure NAT Gateway Event | NAT Gateway \[cmdb_ci_nat_gateway\] | | Azure Network Event | Cloud Network \[cmdb_ci_network\] | | Azure NIC Event | Cloud Mgmt Network Interface \[cmdb_ci_nic\] | | Azure Private DNS Zone Event | DNS Zone \[cmdb_ci_dns_zone\] | | Azure Public IP Event | Cloud Public IP Address \[cmdb_ci_cloud_public_ipaddress\] | | Azure Resource Group Event | Resource Group \[cmdb_ci_resource_group\] | | Azure Security Group Event | Compute Security Group \[cmdb_ci_compute_security_group\] | | Azure Storage Account Event | Cloud Storage Account \[cmdb_ci_cloud_storage_account\] | | Azure Virtual Machine Event | Virtual Machine Instance \[cmdb_ci_vm_instance\] | | Azure Virtual Network Gateway Connection Event | Virtual Network Gateway Connection \[cmdb_ci_vpc_gateway_connection\] | | Azure Virtual Network Peerings Event | Virtual Network Peering \[cmdb_ci_vnet_peering\] | | Azure VM Scale Set Event | Instance Scale Set \[cmdb_ci_instance_scale_set\] | [Table 1.
