Abstract: The present approach relates to querying a configuration item (CI). The CI may be associated with a monitoring agent. In accordance with this approach, a check request is sent to a management, instrumentation, and discovery (MID) server. The check request may be sent to the monitoring agent. Additionally, a check result may be received from the monitoring agent. The check result may have data associated with the CI and the check request.

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: Identifying components of a computer network based on connections between the components includes performing a first discovery operation to identify respective attributes of a first set of components and performing a second discovery operation to infer respective components of the second set of components not identifiable by the first discovery operation. The second discovery operation is performed by sending probes for collecting network flow data indicative of network flows between components of the first set of components and other components of the computer network. The collected network flow data is used to identify connections between ones of the first set of components and ones of the other components, determining sequences of the identified connections, and infer respective attributes of at least some of the second set of components based on the determined sequences of the identified connections.

Abstract: An example embodiment may involve performing a discovery process to identify configuration items representing computing devices and applications in a managed network and determining that the configuration items exceed a threshold payload size. The embodiment may then involve generating a graph that represents the configuration items as nodes interconnected by unidirectional edges. The edges may represent respective associations between pairs of configuration items to which they connect, and the respective associations are classified either as weak associations that represent non-dependency relationships between a respective pair of nodes or as strong associations that represent dependency relationships between the respective pair of nodes. The embodiment may involve dividing the graph into overlapping sub-graphs based on the respective associations represented by the edges and, for each sub-graph, separately transmitting the configuration items defined therein to one or more server devices.

Abstract: A custom graph of nodes can be selectively generated based on a selected node in a graph representative of a network-connected computing infrastructure. The custom graph can, for example, be generated using software executing on a server device. The server device can receive an indication of the selected node from a client device. A plugin can then be invoked by providing the selected node to the plugin. Responsive to providing the selected node to the plugin, the plugin can provide output including child nodes generated by the plugin. The child nodes generated by the invocation of the plugin can be iteratively processed to generate the custom graph, such as by providing those child nodes to the plugin for subsequent invocation, as applicable. After the custom graph is generated, it can be transmitted to the client device from which the indication of the selected node was received. The custom graph may be displayed at the client device.
