    Summary of Amazon API Gateway Domain Name pattern-based discovery

    This pattern-based discovery enables ServiceNow customers to identify and map Amazon API Gateway Domain Names within their AWS cloud environments. It is part of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application, which requires updating to the latest version from the ServiceNow Store to discover AWS resources effectively.

    Key Features

    • Prerequisites and Setup: Customers must meet AWS discovery prerequisites, remove resources from the Resource Inclusion List table to avoid duplicates, and enable the specific pattern, which is disabled by default.
    • GovCloud Support: Discovering AWS GovCloud accounts requires configuring AWS service accounts with datacenter URLs.
    • Data Population: Discovery populates data into both CMDB and non-CMDB tables:
      • Non-CMDB Tables: The Amazon AWS - API Gateway Domain Name - Extended Inventory (LP) pattern stores detailed AWS-specific domain data accessible via the AWS configuration section.
      • CMDB Tables: The same pattern populates the cmdbcicmpresource table with domain name resources, including their operational and install status.
    • CI Relationships: The pattern creates relationships linking API Gateway Domain Names to AWS Datacenters and related cloud resources, supporting comprehensive infrastructure mapping.
    • Tag Discovery: AWS tags associated with API Gateway Domain Names are collected and stored in the cmdbkeyvalue table, enabling tag-based filtering and management.

    Key Outcomes

    • Accurate discovery and mapping of API Gateway Domain Names to enhance visibility of AWS API Gateway infrastructure in the ServiceNow CMDB.
    • Improved resource management through detailed attributes such as domain status, endpoint type, and SSL/TLS certificate information.
    • Elimination of duplicate discoveries by managing resources in the Resource Inclusion List.
    • Support for AWS GovCloud environments ensuring compliance and comprehensive coverage.
    • Enhanced configuration item relationships and tagging support enable richer service mapping and governance capabilities.

    Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns finds AWS 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

    Verify the AWS discovery prerequisites
    For more information, see the prerequisites section in AWS discovery using patterns.
    Remove resources from the Resource Inclusion List table
    Verify that the relevant resource isn't listed in the Resource Inclusion List [sa_cloud_inventory_resource_whitelist] table to avoid duplicate discovery. For more information on removing resources from the Resource Inclusion List, see AWS Resource Inventory discovery with Patterns.
    Enable the relevant pattern
    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.
    Configure the Discovery schedule to support GovCloud
    Discovering AWS GovCloud (US) accounts requires using a datacenter URL when setting up an AWS service account. For more information, see Create AWS service accounts.

    Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application populates data in both CMDB and non-CMDB tables.

    Data stored in non-CMDB tables

    Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application populates data in the non-CMDB table when running the Amazon AWS - API Gateway Domain Name - Extended Inventory (LP) pattern.

    You can review the non-CMDB AWS tables by navigating to All > Configuration > AWS. You can also search the navigation filter for the specific pattern name.

    Table 1. AWS API Gateway - Domain Name [cmdb_aws_api_gateway_domain_name]
    Field Description
    Object Id [object_id] The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) uniquely identifying the domain.
    Name [name] The custom domain name associated with an API Gateway.
    Certificate Name [certificate_name] The name of the secure sockets layer and transport layer security (SSL/TLS) certificate used for the domain.
    Configuration Item [configuration_item] References the Cloud Resource [cmdb_ci_cmp_resource] table.
    Domain Name Status [domain_name_status] The status of the custom domain name.
    Endpoint Type [endpoint_type] The type of API endpoint. For example: EDGE or REGIONAL.

    Data stored in CMDB tables

    Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application populates data in the CMDB when running the Amazon AWS - API Gateway Domain Name - Extended Inventory (LP) pattern.

    Table 2. Cloud Resource [cmdb_ci_cmp_resource]
    Field Description
    Object ID [object_id] The ARN uniquely identifying the domain.
    Name [name] The custom domain name associated with an API Gateway.
    Resource type [resource_type] Type of resource. The value is set to AWS::API Gateway::Domain Name.
    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

    The Amazon AWS - API Gateway Domain Name - Extended Inventory (LP) pattern creates these relationships to support Amazon API Gateway Domain Name discovery.

    CI Relationship CI
    Cloud Resource [cmdb_ci_cmp_resource] Hosted on::Hosts AWS Datacenter [cmdb_ci_aws_datacenter]
    AWS API Gateway - Domain Name [cmdb_aws_api_gateway_domain_name] References Cloud Resource [cmdb_ci_cmp_resource]

    AWS tag discovery

    The pattern collects tags and populates them in the Key Value [cmdb_key_value] table.
    Table 3. Key Value [cmdb_key_value]
    Field Description
    Key [key] Tag name.
    Value [value] Tag value.
