    Abstract: A computing system includes a persistent storage configured to store, as one or more configuration items and on behalf of a managed network, a table of resources provided by a remote computing system to the managed network. The computing system includes a discovery application configured to perform operations. The operations include querying a resource manager application programming interface (API) to identify resources within the remote computing system. The remote computing system is configured to generate a resource inventory file and store the resource inventory file within a storage bucket in response to the query. The resource inventory file contains a list of resources and attributes. The operations also include polling the storage bucket to determine when the resource inventory file has been fully written. In addition, the operations include parsing the resource inventory file to generate representations of the resources. Further, the operations include storing the representations in the table.

    Abstract: A computing system is disposed within a computational instance of a remote network management platform associated with a managed network. The computing system (i) performs a discovery process that identifies attributes of computing devices and software applications disposed within the managed network; (ii) stores, in a persistent storage of the computing system, the attributes that were identified; (iii) indexes the attributes that were stored in the persistent storage for searching; (iv) receives a configuration file for a particular software application; (v) uses a search engine to find matches between one or more terms in the configuration file and one or more of the attributes; (vi) based on the matches, defines an operational mapping between the particular software application and one or more of the computing devices or software applications of those disposed within the managed network; and (vii) stores, in the persistent storage, a representation of the operational mapping.

    Abstract: A computing system may include a database disposed within a remote network management platform that manages a managed network, and a software application associated with the platform. The software application may be configured to: obtain a unit of programmatic code from a third-party computing system, where the unit of programmatic code is hosted by the third-party computing system on behalf of the managed network, and where a program using the unit of programmatic code is executable by computing resources of the third-party computing system that are assigned on demand; parse the unit of programmatic code for a pattern indicative of respective relationships between the unit of programmatic code and service(s) provided by the third-party computing system; generate an association between the unit of programmatic code and the service(s); and store, in the database, representations of the unit of programmatic code, the service(s), and the association therebetween as discovered configuration items.

    Abstract: A method includes obtaining a discovery pattern that indicates a plurality of operations associated with a corresponding computing resource type of a plurality of computing resource types. The method also includes identifying a variable parameter value associated with execution of the discovery pattern with respect to a computing resource of the corresponding computing resource type, and determining an error value by using a machine learning model to process the variable parameter value. The error value indicates a likelihood that execution of the discovery pattern, when associated with the variable parameter value, with respect to the particular computing resource results in a corresponding error type. The method further includes receiving, based on the error value, an input comprising one or more of (i) an instruction to execute the discovery pattern or (ii) a modification applicable to the variable parameter value.

    Abstract: A discovery computing system may receive an account identifier (ID) and a set of credentials required to access a first service account. The discovery computing system may transmit a first API query to a remote computing system. The discovery computing system may receive an organization identifier (ID) of the organization from the remote computing system. The discovery computing system may further transmit a second API query to the remote computing system. The discovery computing system may be further configured to receive information about a set of projects, in the organization, from the remote computing system. The discovery computing system may further generate a set of service accounts and further determine the set of resources, in the remote computing system, associated with each of the generated set of service accounts. The discovery computing system may further store the determined set of resources, as configuration items in a persistent storage.

    Abstract: A computing system includes a discovery application that identifies a computing device associated with a managed network. The application determines a first command that causes the computing device to invoke a function that provides as output attributes of the computing device. The command includes a parameter that suppresses any textual error messages that the function places in the output. The application also determines a second command that causes the computing device to provide a numerical exit status of the function. The application causes the computing device to execute the first and second commands, and obtains the output and the numerical exit status. Based on the numerical exit status, the application determines that the function did not fully obtain the attributes of the computing device and, in response, (i) modifies the first command, and (ii) causes the computing device to execute the first command as modified and the second command.

    Abstract: An example system includes persistent storage and a discovery application configured to perform operations including obtaining a uniform resource locator (URL) that addresses a function of an application programming interface (API) provided by a remote computing system of remote computing systems that provide computing resources. The function returns attributes of computing resources specified by the URL. The operations additionally include generating (i) a system-specific portion of a request that invokes execution of the function and (ii) a system-invariant portion of the request. The system-specific portion adheres to first rules adopted by the remote computing system for interacting with the API. The system-invariant portion adheres to second rules adopted by each of the remote computing systems for interacting with respective APIs thereof. The operations yet further include transmitting the request to the remote computing system, receiving therefrom a response containing the attributes, and storing, in the persistent storage, the attributes.
