# Azure Public IP pattern-based discovery

Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns finds Azure public IP addresses 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 Microsoft Azure discovery prerequisites**

    For more information, see the prerequisites section in [Microsoft Azure Cloud discovery using patterns]().

-   **Configure the Discovery schedule to support GovCloud**

    Discovering Azure GovCloud \(US\) accounts requires using a datacenter URL when setting up an Azure service account. For more information, see [Set up Azure service accounts](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-operations-management/setup-azure-service-accounts.md).


## Data collected by Discovery during horizontal discovery

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

|Field|Description|
|-----|-----------|
|Name \[name\]|The Name or ID if no Name is specified for the IP address.|
|Object ID \[object\_id\]|A unique identifier, allocated by Azure for this resource.|
|State \[state\]|The current state of the IP address.|
|Public IP Address \[public\_ip\_address\]|The address of the Elastic IP address.|
|Public DNS \[public\_dns\]|The public DNS name.|
|Install Status \[install\_status\]|Install status of the resource. Default value is Installed.|

## CI relationships

The Azure - Public IP \(LP\) pattern creates the following relationships and references to support Azure Public IP discovery. References link to records in other tables and don't appear in the CI Relationship \[cmdb\_rel\_ci\] table.

|CI|Relationship|CI|
|---|------------|---|
|Cloud Public IP Address \[cmdb\_ci\_cloud\_public\_ipaddress\]|Hosted on::Hosts|Azure Datacenter \[cmdb\_ci\_azure\_datacenter\]|
|Cloud Mgmt Network Interface \[cmdb\_ci\_nic\]|Contains::Contained by|Cloud Public IP Address \[cmdb\_ci\_cloud\_public\_ipaddress\]|
|Resource Group \[cmdb\_ci\_resource\_group\]|Contains::Contained by|Cloud Public IP Address \[cmdb\_ci\_cloud\_public\_ipaddress\]|

|CI|Field|Referenced CI|
|---|-----|-------------|
|Key Value \[cmdb\_key\_value\]|Configuration item \[configuration\_item\]|Cloud Public IP Address \[cmdb\_ci\_cloud\_public\_ipaddress\]|

## Azure Tag discovery

The Azure - Public IP \(LP\) pattern collects tags and populates them in the Key Value \[cmdb\_key\_value\] table.

|Field|Description|
|-----|-----------|
|Key \[key\]|Tag name.|
|Value \[value\]|Tag value.|
|Configuration item \[configuration\_item\]|References the Cloud Public IP Address \[cmdb\_ci\_cloud\_public\_ipaddress\] table.|
