DEVICE AND SERVICE DISCOVERY ACROSS MULTIPLE NETWORK TYPES
First Claim
1. A computer network discovery system comprising:
- a database disposed within a remote network management platform; and
a computing system disposed within the remote network management platform, wherein the remote network management platform manages a managed network, and wherein the computing system is configured to;
initiate a discovery scan of first and second server devices, wherein the first and second server devices are not in the managed network;
receive first and second respective sets of configuration and operational information from the first and second respective server devices for first and second respective services provided to the managed network, wherein the first and second services are offered by different entities and have different configurations;
store the first and second respective sets of configuration and operational information for the first and second respective services in the database; and
provide a graphical user interface representing data corresponding to the first and second services.

Abstract
A computer network discovery system may involve a computing system and a database disposed within a remote network management platform, and a proxy server application disposed within an enterprise network. The computing system may be configured to: transmit first instructions causing the proxy server application to obtain configuration and operational information for virtual machines; store the configuration and operational information for the virtual machines in a first set of tables of the database; transmit second instructions causing the server device to obtain configuration and operational information for services; and store the configuration and operational information for the services in a second set of tables of the database, where the first set and the second set of tables have tables in common that store at least part of the configuration and operational information for the virtual machines and the services.
