    Summary of Amazon Redshift Serverless Namespace pattern-based discovery

    The Amazon Redshift Serverless Namespace pattern-based discovery enables ServiceNow customers to identify and map Amazon Redshift Serverless namespaces within their AWS cloud environment using Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns. This process updates the Configuration Management Database (CMDB) and related non-CMDB tables with detailed information about these namespaces, helping maintain accurate and comprehensive cloud resource inventories.

    Key Features

    • Pattern Activation: The Redshift Serverless Namespace pattern is disabled by default but can be enabled without being considered a customization, allowing automatic updates with new content versions.
    • Discovery Prerequisites: Customers must verify AWS discovery prerequisites and ensure that the relevant Redshift Serverless resources are not listed in the Resource Inclusion List to avoid duplicate discoveries.
    • GovCloud Support: Discovery supports AWS GovCloud (US) by requiring appropriate datacenter URLs when setting up AWS service accounts.
    • Data Storage: The discovery populates data into both CMDB and non-CMDB tables:
      • Non-CMDB Table: Contains detailed extended inventory data accessible via the AWS configuration section.
      • CMDB Tables: Stores core namespace data within the Cloud DataBase table, including installation and operational status.
    • CI Relationships: The pattern automatically creates relationships between the discovered Redshift Serverless Namespace CIs and AWS Datacenter CIs, supporting dependency mapping.
    • Tag Collection: AWS resource tags are collected and stored in the Key Value table, enabling better categorization and filtering of discovered resources.

    Key Outcomes

    • Accurate discovery and mapping of Amazon Redshift Serverless namespaces within the ServiceNow CMDB, enhancing visibility into AWS cloud resources.
    • Improved configuration item (CI) relationship tracking between Redshift Serverless namespaces and AWS datacenters, supporting service impact analysis and change management.
    • Comprehensive tagging information is available for reporting and automation purposes, facilitating governance and cost management.
    • Support for AWS GovCloud environments ensures compliance and discovery in specialized AWS regions.

    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 - Redshift Serverless Namespace - 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 Redshift Serverless - Namespace [cmdb_aws_redshift_serverless_namespace]
    Field Description
    Object Id [object_id] The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) uniquely identifying the namespace.
    Name [name] The name assigned to the Redshift Serverless namespace.
    Configuration Item [configuration_item] References the Cloud DataBase [cmdb_ci_cloud_database] table.
    DB Name [db_name] The name of the database associated with the namespace.
    Namespace ID [namespace_id] The unique identifier assigned to the Redshift Serverless namespace.

    Data stored in CMDB tables

    Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application populates data in the CMDB when running the Amazon AWS - Redshift Serverless Namespace - Extended Inventory (LP) pattern.

    Table 2. Cloud DataBase [cmdb_ci_cloud_database]
    Field Description
    Object ID [object_id] The ARN uniquely identifying the namespace.
    Name [name] The name assigned to the Redshift Serverless namespace.
    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.
    Type [type] Type of resource. The value is set to AWS::Redshift Serverless::Namespace.

    CI relationships

    The Amazon AWS - Redshift Serverless Namespace - Extended Inventory (LP) pattern creates these relationships to support Amazon Redshift Serverless Namespace discovery.

    CI Relationship CI
    Cloud DataBase [cmdb_ci_cloud_database] Hosted on::Hosts AWS Datacenter [cmdb_ci_aws_datacenter]
    AWS Redshift Serverless - Namespace [cmdb_aws_redshift_serverless_namespace] References Cloud DataBase [cmdb_ci_cloud_database]

    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.
