AWS Load Balancer resources map to the ServiceNow table: Cloud Load Balancer
(cmdb_ci_cloud_load_balancer).
The previous table in the Connector was Load Balancer Service
(cmdb_ci_lb_service). This change aligns with ServiceNow’s
cloud resource best practices.
Note
The following transition steps are required only if you are upgrading from version 3 of the Connector to version 4.
Fix Scripts to address changes to ELB mappings in ServiceNow CMDB
If you are using AWS Config integration before version 4, the Connector
includes two fix scripts that migrate existing Connector resources in the Load
Balancer Service (cmdb_ci_lb_service) table to the Cloud Load Balancer
(cmdb_ci_cloud_load_balancer) table.
Fix Script 1: AWS SMC - Migrate ELB data
This fix script migrates ELBv2 data from the legacy Load Balancer Service
(cmdb_ci_lb_service) table with discovery_source
AWS Service Management Connector to the new
Cloud Load Balancer (cmdb_ci_cloud_load_balancer) table with all
the relationships. (Legacy records remain undeleted for audit).
Note
The AWS SMC - Migrate ELB data fix script
migrates all existing relationships of the ELBv2 resource in Load Balancer
Service (cmdb_ci_lb_service), where the discovery source is
AWS Service Management Connector to
the newly created resource in the Cloud Load Balancer
(cmdb_ci_cloud_load_balancer) table.
Fix Script 2: AWS SMC - Delete ELB legacy relationship (optional)
This fix script deletes the relationships where a child or parent is a
resource in the original Load Balancer Service (cmdb_ci_lb_service)
table, and the discovery source of the resource is AWS
Service Management Connector.
Note
We recommend you execute AWS SMC - Delete ELB legacy relationship fix script after executing AWS SMC - Migrate ELB data fix script, and receiving approvals from your ServiceNow admin based on your organization’s data retention policies.
To run a fix script in ServiceNow
-
Log in to your ServiceNow instance as an admin user (for example, System Administrator) in the fulfiller view (Standard user interface view).
-
In the filter navigator, enter
System Definition. -
