Microsoft Azure Functions discovery with Patterns

The Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application uses the Azure - Functions (LP) and Azure - Functions TD Patterns to discover Azure Functions apps and map them in the context of application services. Discovering some of these resources might require updating to the latest version of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application from the ServiceNow Store.

Request apps on the Store

Visit the ServiceNow Store to view all the available apps, and for information about submitting requests to the store. For cumulative release notes information for all released apps, see the ServiceNow Store version history release notes.

Prerequisites

• Azure Functions detailed information

  Detailed information on products discovered by ITOM Visibility

• Azure service account

  Configure the Azure service account. For more information, see Set up a cloud account for Azure

• Azure Principal credentials

  On the ServiceNow AI Platform, create a service account for cloud discovery. Set the account Id to the Azure Service Principal as it appears at the Microsoft Azure Console. For more information see: Create Azure cloud credentials

• Privileges

  On the Microsoft Azure Console, provide a user with the API Management Service Reader role.

• Run Azure Cloud discovery

  For detailed information, see: Discovery for Microsoft Azure

• Create discovery schedule

  Create a discovery schedule in Cloud Discovery Workspace

Data collected by Discovery during horizontal discovery

Table and field Description Azure Function [cmdb_ci_cloud_function] name The name of the Function app. Object_id The ID of the Function app. ip_address The IP Address of the Function app. fqdn The Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of the Function app. code_location_url The URL of the Function app source code. app_function_state The state of the Function app. operational_status The operational status of the Function app. install_status The installation status of the Function app.

CI relationships

These relationships are created to support Azure Functions discovery:

CI Relationship CI Azure Functions [cmdb_ci_cloud_function] Hosted on::Hosts Azure datacenter [cmdb_ci_azure_datacenter]

Connections found by Service Mapping during top-down discovery

Service Mapping can discover the following connections:

• Connections to the following databases: MSSql, MySql, MongoDB, and Documentum.

• HTTP connections belonging to Azure Functions environment, for example, scenario4-hop1-azure-function.azurewebsites.net.

  Note: Service Mapping does not scan java classes/jars and binary files for possible information about outgoing HTTP connections of Azure Functions. If java classes/jars and binary files are the only source of information about some outgoing HTTP connections, Service Mapping does not find such HTTP connections.
