Abstract: A system includes persistent storage configured to store, a mapping of computing resources provided by a remote computing system to a managed network. The system also includes an application that obtains instructions to modify a computing resource provided by the remote computing system and, based on the instructions, generates and transmits, to the remote computing system, a request to modify the computing resource. The application receives, from the remote computing system, a response indicating a modification to the computing resource and selects a discovery pattern configured to verify the modification by obtaining attributes associated therewith. The application obtains, from the remote computing system, the attributes by executing the discovery pattern and determines, based on the attributes, that the modification has been completed according to the instructions.

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.

Abstract: A system includes persistent storage and an application that obtains a service identifier associated with a managed network. The service identifier allows access to a remote computing system that provides computing resources on behalf of the managed network. The application also identifies a geographic region that contains the computing resources. The application additionally identifies, within the geographic region, virtual computing devices allocated to the managed network and attributes thereof. The application further identifies, based on the attributes, (i) load balancers configured to distribute network traffic among the virtual computing devices and (ii) storage volumes used by the virtual computing devices.
