# OCI NIC

# OCI NIC pattern-based discovery {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil  
Updated July 12, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 2 minutes to read  
Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns finds OCI virtual network interface cards (VNICs) 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 {#oracle-nic-pattern__section_rpj_fj2_bgc}

Verify the REST API permissions
:   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.{#oracle-nic-pattern__cloud-discovery-api-ph-short-prereq}

Verify the OCI discovery prerequisites
:   For more information, see the prerequisites section in [Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) discovery](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/IYDsPN2skO1mrV5Z7pwsNQ "ServiceNow Discovery uses the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) discovery patterns to provide real-time elasticity for enterprise applications by combining Oracle autonomous services, integrated security, and cloud compute. 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 OCI GovCloud accounts requires using a datacenter URL when setting up an OCI service account. For more information, see [Create OCI service accounts](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/Izj3kXTAsqrbFR1dMWXvsQ "Create Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) service accounts on the ServiceNow AI Platform to access your Oracle account during Oracle discovery.").

## Data collected by Discovery during horizontal discovery {#oracle-nic-pattern__section_ggp_ql2_bgc}

Discovery populates the data in the CMDB when running the Oracle OCI - NIC (LP) pattern.  
{#oracle-nic-pattern__table_mkf_2hc_dgc__entry__2}

| Field | Description |
|-|-|
| Name \[name\] | Display name of the network interface. |
| Object ID \[object_id\] | Unique identifier, allocated by OCI for this resource. |
| Primary \[primary\] | Indicator of whether this is the primary network interface on the instance. |
| MAC Address \[mac_address\] | The MAC address of the network interface. |
| Private IP \[private_ip\] | Private IPv4 address of the network interface within the subnet. |
| Public IP \[public_ip\] | Public IP address assigned to the network interface, if applicable. |
| State \[state\] | Current state of the network interface. Possible values are: available, pending, or terminated. |
| 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. |

## CI relationships and references {#oracle-nic-pattern__section_dc4_ghc_dgc}

The Oracle OCI - NIC (LP) pattern creates the following relationships and references to support OCI NIC discovery. References link to records in other tables and don't appear in the CI Relationship \[cmdb_rel_ci\] table.  
{#oracle-nic-pattern__table_bkg_jhc_dgc__entry__3}

| CI | Relationship | CI |
|-|-|-|
| Cloud Mgmt Network Interface \[cmdb_ci_nic\] | Hosted on::Hosts | OCI Datacenter \[cmdb_ci_oci_datacenter\] |

## OCI tag discovery {#oracle-nic-pattern__section_lyw_zhc_dgc}

The Oracle OCI - NIC (LP) pattern collects tags and populates them in the Key Value \[cmdb_key_value\] table.  
{#oracle-nic-pattern__table_ojy_vss_5hc__entry__2}

| Field | Description |
|-|-|
| Key \[key\] | Tag name. |
| Value \[value\] | Tag value. |
| Configuration item \[configuration_item\] | References the Cloud Mgmt Network Interface \[cmdb_ci_nic\] table. |
