# GCP Events

# GCP Events pattern-based discovery {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil  
Updated September 10, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Discovery uses event patterns to update GCP component data in near real-time. 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 {#gcp-events-pattern__section_prerequisites}

Verify the GCP discovery prerequisites section in [Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Cloud discovery using Patterns](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/HNCEh0YFNeYKDYkRSJMp0w "Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns uses patterns to discover components of the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) 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.").

## Events discovered by Discovery during horizontal discovery {#gcp-events-pattern__section_events}

When GCP components change state, events are created. Discovery uses event patterns to detect these changes and update the CMDB.
