Discovery and Service Mapping provides automated discovery of your on-premises and cloud infrastructure. These capabilities auto-generate application dependency information for topology visualization. Pattern frameworks from ITOM Visibility provide codeless content to discover IT landscapes. Out-of-band releases, via this store application, provide pattern content for Discovery and Service Mapping that enable the following features:
- Supports the discovery of new technology stacks to collect inventory and topology data for the CMDB initiatives.
- Maps services containing applications discovered with the latest available patterns.
Key Features
Use the pattern content for Discovery and Service Mapping to achieve the following results:
- In addition to hosts and applications supported by default, Discovery finds other hosts and applications by deploying patterns available on the Store.
- Service Mapping maps services containing additional hosts and applications.
New patterns are regularly published in the ServiceNow Store between major product releases. Discovery and Service Mapping customers can use updated or modified patterns without having to wait for the next major release.

Fixed:
- Discovery Pattern active field preference is now preserved across plugin upgrades. When a user enables or disables a Discovery Pattern, the preference is retained automatically on all future upgrades while the pattern continues to receive OOB content updates.(PRB1996794)
Note: If you previously enabled a Discovery Pattern and your preference was reset after upgrading to app-pattern-designer, starting with version 6.28.0, re-enable the pattern once. Your preference will be preserved automatically on all future upgrades.
