Abstract:
A mechanism for configuring and scheduling logical discovery processes in a data processing system is provided. A discovery engine communicates with information providers to collect discovery data. An information provider is a software component whose responsibility is to discover resources and relationships between the resources and write their representations in a persistent store. Discovery directives are used to coordinate the execution of information providers.
