  • Patent number: 11924057
    Abstract: Example embodiments for identifying and displaying configuration item information are presented herein. A system may involve a proxy server application disposed within a managed network that includes configuration items and a server disposed within a remote network management platform managing the managed network. The server may receive a request to view information representative of a particular configuration item from a client device. Based on the request, the server may obtain the information and transmit a representation of a graphical user interface to the client device. The representation may include a health graphic, a relationship graphic, a timeline graphic, and an activity stream, each of which represent pertinent information about the particular configuration item. The representation may also include a tabbed interface that facilitates navigation between attributes corresponding to the particular configuration item and attributes corresponding to other configuration items in the managed network.

  • Patent number: 11665142
    Abstract: A computing system may include a proxy server application and a database. The proxy server application may provide, to a computing device disposed within a managed network, instructions to identify one or more processes executing on the computing device. The proxy server application may also determine, for a process of the one or more processes, a file system path of a directory associated with the process and, based thereon, select one or more directories to scan for files associated with the process. The computing device may be provided with instructions to (i) scan the one or more directories and (ii) determine a plurality of attributes associated with one or more files discovered therein. The proxy server application may additionally receive results of the scan containing a representation of the plurality of attributes and store, in the database, the results of the scan.

  • Patent number: 11089117
    Abstract: A discovery application may obtain, from a remote storage system configured to host storage structures, first data that identifies relationships among the storage structures. The discovery application may generate, based on the first data, a mapping of the storage structures, store the mapping as one or more configuration items, and provide, to the remote storage system, instructions configured to cause the remote storage system to notify the discovery application of modification events associated with the storage structures. The discovery application may receive, from the remote storage system, a notification of a modification event associated with a particular storage structure of the storage structures and, in response, obtain, from the remote storage system, second data that identifies a modification to the particular storage structure. The discovery application may modify the mapping based on the second data and store the modified mapping by updating the one or more configuration items.
