    Abstract: A system includes persistent storage and an application that obtains a service identifier associated with a managed network. The service identifier allows access to a remote computing system that provides computing resources on behalf of the managed network. The application also identifies a geographic region that contains the computing resources. The application additionally identifies, within the geographic region, virtual computing devices allocated to the managed network and attributes thereof. The application further identifies, based on the attributes, (i) load balancers configured to distribute network traffic among the virtual computing devices and (ii) storage volumes used by the virtual computing devices. The application yet further determines a mapping between the virtual computing devices, the load balancers, and the storage volumes to represent a service infrastructure of the remote computing system dedicated to the managed network and stores, in the persistent storage, the mapping as one or more configuration items.

    Abstract: A system includes persistent storage configured to store, a mapping of computing resources provided by a remote computing system to a managed network. The system also includes an application that obtains instructions to modify a computing resource provided by the remote computing system and, based on the instructions, generates and transmits, to the remote computing system, a request to modify the computing resource. The application receives, from the remote computing system, a response indicating a modification to the computing resource and selects a discovery pattern configured to verify the modification by obtaining attributes associated therewith. The application obtains, from the remote computing system, the attributes by executing the discovery pattern and determines, based on the attributes, that the modification has been completed according to the instructions. Based on this determination, the application updates the mapping to indicate the modification and stores, in the persistent storage, the mapping as updated.

    Abstract: A computing system includes a database and a discovery application. The discovery application obtains credentials for accessing a server hosting a software bus application which connects a plurality of applications within a managed network. The discovery application selects, based on a pattern corresponding to the software bus application, one or more files to access, transmits, to the server, instructions to access the one or more files, and receives therefrom data identifying a plurality of attributes of the software bus application. Based on this data, the discovery application transmits, to the server, instructions to identify communicative connections established between the plurality of software applications by way of the software bus application and receives therefrom data identifying the communicative connections. Based on (i) the plurality of attributes and (ii) the communicative connections, the discovery application generates a mapping that represents the communicative connections and stores the mapping in the database.

    Abstract: A computing system includes a database and a discovery application that initiates discovery of software applications within a managed network by probing the computing devices for applications in stalled thereon. The discovery application executes discovery patterns in an attempt to classify a discovered application and determines that the discovered application is unclassified after executing the discovery patterns. In response to determining that the discovered application is unclassified, the discovery application (i) generates a configuration item representing the discovered application without classification and (ii) selects a characteristic file containing attributes of the discovered application. The discovery application provides the characteristic file to a machine learning (ML) classifier trained using a plurality of characteristic files. The discovery application receives, from the ML classifier, a classification of the discovered application, modifies the configuration item to include the classification of the discovered application, and stores, in the database, the configuration item as modified.

    Abstract: A mock server implementation for discovery applications is provided. A computing system includes a mock server, which receives a client request from a mock client on a discovery server. The client request corresponds to a user query associated with a discovery of resources on a remote computing system. The mock server determines a first response from a mock response dataset. The first response to the client request is determined based on the received client request. The mock response dataset includes a set of responses associated with a sequence of operations executed in the past for the discovery of resources on the remote computing system. The mock server transmits the determined first response to the mock client on the discovery server. The mock client receives the transmitted first response and sends the received first response to a discovery application interface on a user device.
