Abstract: A non-transitory computer readable storage medium may have stored thereon instructions that, when executed by an endpoint device, cause the endpoint device to perform operations including: (i) establishing, by the endpoint device, a first communication channel with an intermediary proxy server; (ii) receiving, from a computational instance and via the intermediary proxy server, a registration payload comprising a list of available proxy servers; (iii) ranking, at the endpoint device, the list of available proxy servers; (iv) selecting, by the endpoint device, a particular proxy server from the list of available proxy servers as ranked; (v) establishing, by the endpoint device, a second communication channel with the particular proxy server; and (vi) communicating, by the endpoint device, with the computational instance via the particular proxy server by utilizing the second communication channel.

Abstract: A computer network discovery system may involve a computing system and a database disposed within a remote network management platform, and a proxy server application disposed within an enterprise network. The computing system may be configured to: transmit first instructions causing the proxy server application to obtain configuration and operational information for virtual machines; store the configuration and operational information for the virtual machines in a first set of tables of the database; transmit second instructions causing the server device to obtain configuration and operational information for services; and store the configuration and operational information for the services in a second set of tables of the database, where the first set and the second set of tables have tables in common that store at least part of the configuration and operational information for the virtual machines and the services.

Abstract: An example embodiment may involve providing for display a discovery schedule creation page for creating a discovery schedule. The embodiment may also involve, in response to receiving user input indicative of creation of a discovery schedule via the discovery schedule creation page, providing for display a discovery process page. Providing the discovery process page for display may involve, while the discovery process is being carried out according to the discovery schedule, dynamically updating the discovery process page to include total numbers of discovery results. The discovery process page may include selectable links for navigating to and displaying three pages: a discovered configuration items page, an error flow page, and a scheduling summary page.

Abstract: A hierarchical network infrastructure includes an interface that allows a user to define a management hierarchy between a plurality of edge processors. Input is received via the interface designating a management node and a first set of relationships between the management mode and at least one edge processor. A management hierarchy between the management node and the at least one edge processor is generated based on the first set of relationships. Using the management hierarchy, telemetry information can be relayed, hosts can be managed, and the software running on then, and information can be configured to trickled up the chain. Each sub tree of the management hierarchy may have different Access Control for local administrators.
