    • Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns finds blob resources within Azure Blob Storage 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 Azure discovery prerequisites section in Microsoft Azure Cloud discovery using patterns.

    Data collected by Discovery during horizontal discovery

    Discovery populates the data in the CMDB when running the Azure - Storage Blobs(LP) pattern.

    Table 1. Storage Volume [cmdb_ci_storage_volume]
    Field Description
    Name [name] The name of the storage blob.
    Volume ID [volume_id] The unique identifier for the storage volume, matching the blob name.
    Object ID [object_id] The unique Azure resource identifier combining the storage container path and blob name.
    Volume container [volume_container] The name of the storage container that holds the blob.
    Storage type [storage_type] The type of blob storage.

    For example: BlockBlob, PageBlob, or AppendBlob.
    State [state] The lease state of the blob.

    For example: Leased, Available, or Terminated.
    Table 2. Block Endpoint [cmdb_ci_endpoint_block]
    Field Description
    Name [name] The name of the block endpoint, matching the blob name.
    Object ID [object_id] The unique Azure resource identifier for the block endpoint.

    CI relationships

    The Azure - Storage Blobs(LP) pattern creates these relationships to support Azure Blob Storage discovery.

    CI Relationship CI
    Resource Group [cmdb_ci_resource_group] Contains::Contained by Storage Volume [cmdb_ci_storage_volume]
    Storage Volume [cmdb_ci_storage_volume] Hosted on::Hosts Azure Datacenter [cmdb_ci_azure_datacenter]
    Block Endpoint [cmdb_ci_endpoint_block] Implement End Point To::Implement End Point From Storage Volume [cmdb_ci_storage_volume]
    Cloud Storage Account [cmdb_ci_cloud_storage_account] Contains::Contained by Storage Volume [cmdb_ci_storage_volume]
