## Summary of Amazon S3 Glacier Vault pattern-based discovery

This discovery pattern enables ServiceNow customers to identify and map Amazon S3 Glacier Vaults within their AWS cloud environments.
It leverages the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application to populate detailed vault data into both CMDB and non-CMDB tables, providing comprehensive visibility into archived storage resources.

## Key Features

* **Pattern Activation:** The Amazon AWS - S3 Glacier Vault - Extended Inventory (LP) pattern is disabled by default and must be enabled to start discovery. Activation retains update compatibility and resets to the latest predefined version during upgrades.
* **Pre-requisites:** AWS discovery prerequisites must be met, including removing any relevant resources from the Resource Inclusion List \[sacloudinventoryresourcewhitelist\] to prevent duplicate discoveries.
* **Data Population:**
  * **Non-CMDB Tables:** Stores detailed vault attributes such as vault name, ARN, number of archives, and total archive size in the `cmdbawss3glaciervault` table.
  * **CMDB Tables:** Populates core resource information in the `cmdbcicmpresource` table, including resource type (AWS::S3::GlacierVault), install status, and operational status.
* **CI Relationships and References:** Establishes relationships linking the vault resource to AWS datacenters and maintains references between vault records and cloud resources for accurate mapping and impact analysis.
* **AWS Tag Discovery:** Collects and stores AWS tags related to Glacier Vaults in the Key Value \[cmdbkeyvalue\] table, allowing for enhanced resource categorization and management.

## Practical Benefits for ServiceNow Customers

* Gain accurate, up-to-date visibility of Amazon S3 Glacier Vaults within your CMDB, supporting asset management and compliance efforts.
* Leverage detailed vault metadata and AWS tags to enhance reporting, automation, and governance of archived storage resources.
* Integrate Glacier Vault discovery with broader AWS discovery patterns for comprehensive cloud infrastructure mapping.
* Maintain clean discovery data by ensuring resources are not duplicated via the Resource Inclusion List management.  
Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns finds Amazon S3 Glacier Vaults 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 {#aws-s3-glacier-vault__section_rpj_fj2_bgc}

Verify the AWS discovery prerequisites
:   For more information, see the prerequisites section in [AWS discovery using patterns](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/1RHwXDhXziXfmCJyQkKV8w "Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns uses patterns to discover components of the Amazon AWS 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.").

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](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/BXcn55JDCrLJp34lvDI_LA "The ServiceNow Discovery and Service Mapping applications can find and map the AWS resources available by AWS Config Service. 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
:   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/9WxHMTzMhtdL1v_zeCDjPw "If you want to use a pattern for discovery that's disabled by default, activate it manually.").{#aws-s3-glacier-vault__activating-disabled-pattern-not-customization}
Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application populates data in both CMDB and non-CMDB tables.

## Data stored in non-CMDB tables {#aws-s3-glacier-vault__section_aq4_qkq_hfc}

Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application populates data in the non-CMDB table when running the Amazon AWS - S3 Glacier Vault - Extended Inventory (LP) pattern.

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