* ![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read

The Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application uses the Azure - Functions (LP) and
Azure - Functions TD Patterns to discover Azure Functions apps and map them in the context of application services. Discovering some of these resources may require updating to the latest version of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application from the ServiceNow Store.

## Request apps on the Store {#azure-function-discovery__id_u4x_vzt_hxb}

Visit the [ServiceNow Store](https://store.servicenow.com/sn_appstore_store.do#!/store/home) to view all the available apps, and for information about submitting requests to the store. For cumulative release notes information for all released apps, see the [ServiceNow Store version history release notes](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/r/store-release-notes/sn-store-release-notes.html).{#azure-function-discovery__inline-send-to-store}

## Prerequisites {#azure-function-discovery__section_lfw893hjwk_m2b}

Azure Functions detailed information
:   [Detailed information on products discovered by ITOM Visibility](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/mNB7NqS~kRULRDp~CJup5g "Discovery and Service Mapping can discover a wide range of operating systems and applications.")

Azure service account
:   Configure the Azure service account. For more information, see [Set up a cloud account for Azure](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/8e9FIMthVPxTut6n5ls0xw "A cloud account is the logical representation in Cloud Provisioning and Governance of all or part of your managed cloud infrastructure. A cloud account can include multiple service accounts — even service accounts from different providers. For each service account, you specify which datacenters to include in the cloud account.")

Azure Principal credentials
:   On the ServiceNow AI Platform, create a service account for cloud discovery. Set the account Id to the Azure Service Principal as it appears at the Microsoft Azure Console. For more information see: [Create Azure cloud credentials](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/aY6HNbBzZNrx1iTMozawfg "If your cloud resources are in an Azure cloud, create credentials that can access the Azure account. This procedure requires configuration in your Azure account.")

Privileges
:   On the Microsoft Azure Console, provide a user with the API Management Service Reader role.

Run Azure Cloud discovery
:   For detailed information, see: [Discovery for Microsoft Azure](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/q23bkuYZ4iaCMY21Kk3kNQ "If your cloud resources are in an Azure cloud, you must create a user identity called a service principal that grants permissions to the MID Server to access selected resources.")

Create discovery schedule
:   [Create a discovery schedule in Cloud Discovery Workspace](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/AGFiYHPbJImTnaawWg~_hQ "Create schedules for discovering cloud resources based on the discovery method that you choose: service accounts or IP ranges. The discovery schedule defines the various settings for the cloud discovery.")

## Data collected by Discovery during horizontal discovery {#azure-function-discovery__section_fghu775_j3q_fdb}

| Table and field | Description |
|-|-|
| Azure Function \[cmdb_ci_cloud_function\] ||
| name | The name of the Function app. |
| Object_id | The ID of the Function app. |
| ip_address | The IP Address of the Function app. |
| fqdn | The Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of the Function app. |
| code_location_url | The URL of the Function app source code. |
| app_function_state | The state of the Function app. |
| operational_status | The operational status of the Function app. |

## CI relationships {#azure-function-discovery__section_g13_tp4_m2b}

These relationships are created to support Azure Functions discovery:{#azure-function-discovery__table_ysf_fpq_f987b__entry__3}

| CI | Relationship | CI |

## Connections found by Service Mapping during top-down discovery {#azure-function-discovery__section_rlq_xs4_m2b}

Service Mapping can discover the following connections:

* Connections to the following databases: MSSql, MySql, MongoDB, and Documentum.
* HTTP connections belonging to Azure Functions environment, for example, https://scenario4-hop1-azure-function.azurewebsites.net.  
  Note:  
  Service Mapping does not scan java classes/jars and binary files for possible information about outgoing HTTP connections of Azure Functions. If java classes/jars and binary files are the only source of information about some outgoing HTTP connections, Service Mapping does not find such HTTP connections.
