It leverages the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application to find and populate data about these backup items both in CMDB and non-CMDB tables, providing detailed insights into Azure backup resources. Show full answer Show less ## Key Features * **Pattern Activation:** The Azure Recovery Services Vault Backup Item pattern is disabled by default and must be enabled. Activating or deactivating patterns no longer counts as customization, ensuring they receive updates automatically. * **Discovery Prerequisites:** Customers must verify Microsoft Azure discovery prerequisites before using this pattern. Special configuration is required for discovering Azure GovCloud (US) accounts, including using a datacenter URL for Azure service accounts. * **Data Population:** The pattern populates detailed backup item data in both non-CMDB and CMDB tables, specifically using the "Azure - Recovery Services Vault Backup Item - Extended Inventory (LP)" pattern. * **Non-CMDB Table Data:** Includes fields such as object ID, resource kind, location, resource group, subscription and tenant IDs, backup management type, last backup status, policy name, protection states, associated virtual machine ID, and workload type. * **CMDB Table Data:** Includes core cloud resource information such as object ID, resource name, location, backup vault comments, install and operational status, and resource type related to Azure Recovery Services Vault Backup Items. * **CI Relationships:** The pattern automatically establishes critical configuration item relationships, such as between resource groups, cloud resources, Azure datacenters, and vault backup items, supporting comprehensive dependency mapping. ## Practical Use and Benefits By implementing this discovery pattern, ServiceNow customers can achieve accurate and up-to-date visibility into their Azure Recovery Services Vault backup items. This enables effective backup management, compliance verification, and operational monitoring of backup statuses and protection states directly within the ServiceNow CMDB. The automatic relationship mapping enhances impact analysis and change management for Azure backup resources. Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns finds Azure services on your cloud environment. Discovering some of these resources may 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-recovery-services-vault-backup__selection_ipy_53n_jfc} Verify the Microsoft Azure discovery prerequisites{#azure-recovery-services-vault-backup__verify-azure-discovery-prerequisites-dlentry} : For more information, see the prerequisites section in [Microsoft Azure Cloud components discovery using patterns](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/JeDZ0tlC9eLF5fei5qSv3w "Discovery uses multiple patterns to discover components of the Microsoft Azure Cloud deployment during horizontal discovery. Discovering some of these resources may require updating to the latest version of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application from the ServiceNow Store."). Enable the relevant pattern{#azure-recovery-services-vault-backup__enable-pattern-reuse-dlentry} : The pattern for this service is disabled by default. Starting with Visibility Content version 6.28.0, activating or deactivating a pattern won't be considered a customization, and it will continue to receive updates. Patterns that were previously activated or deactivated will reset to the latest predefined version after upgrading while retaining the last active field value. For more information on enabling patterns, see [Activate a disabled pattern](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/R5W5GP640V_5uNIhVNRPCw "If you want to use a pattern for discovery that's disabled by default, activate it manually.").{#azure-recovery-services-vault-backup__activating-disabled-pattern-not-customization} Configure the Discovery schedule to support GovCloud{#azure-recovery-services-vault-backup__configure-govcloud-azure-dlentry} : Discovering Azure GovCloud (US) accounts requires using a datacenter URL when setting up an Azure service account.
