# Azure Blob Storage pattern-based discovery

Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns finds blob resources within Azure Blob Storage on your cloud environment. Discovering some of these resources might 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](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-operations-management/discovery-and-service-mapping-patterns/azure-cloud-discovery-patterns.md).

## Data collected by Discovery during horizontal discovery

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

<table id="table_storage_volume"><thead><tr><th>

Field

</th><th>

Description

</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>

Name \[name\]

</td><td>

The name of the storage blob.

</td></tr><tr><td>

Volume ID \[volume\_id\]

</td><td>

The unique identifier for the storage volume, matching the blob name.

</td></tr><tr><td>

Object ID \[object\_id\]

</td><td>

The unique Azure resource identifier combining the storage container path and blob name.

</td></tr><tr><td>

Volume container \[volume\_container\]

</td><td>

The name of the storage container that holds the blob.

</td></tr><tr><td>

Storage type \[storage\_type\]

</td><td>

The type of blob storage.For example: BlockBlob, PageBlob, or AppendBlob.

</td></tr><tr><td>

State \[state\]

</td><td>

The lease state of the blob.For example: Leased, Available, or Terminated.

</td></tr></tbody>
</table>|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 \[cmdb\_ci\_storage\_volume\]|
