Abstract: A computer-implemented method of discovering data sources includes receiving a request at a computing device through a user interface identifying applications and any additional data source types associated with the applications, and parameters used to access the applications, automatically authenticating the computing device to applications that require authentication, using the parameters, making calls through a programming interface for each application requesting identification of data sources, receiving a list identified data sources through the programming interface, providing unique identifiers for each of the identified data sources, providing an access identifier that identifies users that have access to the data sources, and storing the identified data sources, unique identifiers, and access identifiers as a data source catalog.

Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed herein that relate to entity monitoring. In one example, a management system comprises a logic subsystem and a storage subsystem. The storage subsystem holds instructions executable by the logic subsystem to create an entity monitor based on user input, the input comprising a designation of an entity, at least one parameter associated with the entity, and at least one condition that defines a change in the at least one parameter, detect the change in the at least one parameter by accessing a storage device holding the at least one parameter, and responsive to detecting the change in the least one parameter, record the change in the at least one parameter in the entity monitor and execute one or more actions defined by the user input.
