Correlating and reconciling descriptor data associated with computing systems

摘要

A system includes a memory operable to store instructions and a processor communicatively coupled to the memory and operable, upon executing the instructions, to receive first probe information from a first probe installed on a first device, compare the first probe information to first device information in a database, and determine that the first probe is associated with the first device. The processor may be further operable, upon executing the instructions, to receive second probe information from a second probe installed on the first device, compare the second probe information to the first device information in the database, and determine that the second probe is associated with the first device. The processor may be further operable, upon executing the instructions, to generate a relationship between the first probe information and the first device information and generate a relationship between the first probe information and the first device information.

主权项

1. A method, comprising:
receiving first probe information from a first probe installed on a first device, the first probe information comprising information about a first property of the first device; comparing the first probe information to first device information in a database, the first device information comprising information about the first device; determining, based on the comparison of the first probe information and the first device information, that the first probe is associated with the first device; generating, in the database, a relationship between the first probe information and the first device information; receiving second probe information from a second probe installed on the first device, the second probe information comprising information about a second property of the first device; comparing the second probe information to the first device information in the database; determining, based on the comparison of the second probe information and the first device information, that the second probe is associated with the first device; and generating, in the database, a relationship between the second probe information and the first device information.
