Patent number: 11641406Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2018Date of Patent: May 2, 2023Assignee: ServiceNow, Inc.Inventors: Robert Bitterfeld, Asaf Garty, Aviya Aron, Boris Erblat, Hail Tal, Bary Solomon
