  • Patent number: 11641406
    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.

  • Patent number: 11461288
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a discovery process that enables discovery of database management systems (DBMSs) hosted by at least one client device of a client network. The disclosed discovery process involves a discovery server disposed on the client network accessing the client device hosting the DBMS to collect configuration item (CI) data on the configuration and operation of management, extraction, and replication processes of the DBMS. More specifically, this discovery process involves the discovery server requesting and receiving certain CI data from the management process of the DBMS, requesting and receiving certain CI data from an operating system (OS) of the client devices, as well as parsing and retrieving certain CI data from configuration and report files of the DBMS. Additionally, the disclosed discovery process is designed to be performed without being granted special or additional privileges within the DBMS itself.
