Fast Detection and Remediation of Unmanaged Assets

摘要

In one aspect, methods, system, and computer-readable media for monitoring unmanaged assets in a network having a plurality of managed machines include: at a first managed machine of the plurality of managed machines, wherein the plurality of managed machine are arranged in a linear communication orbit and have respective identifiers, and each managed machine is coupled to at least one respective neighbor by a corresponding local segment of the linear communication orbit: responding to a detection instruction for detecting unmanaged assets currently present in the network, by: scanning for live unmanaged machines within a selected portion of the network that is associated with a range of identifiers that includes identifiers between the respective identifiers of the first managed machine and a respective neighbor of the first managed machine; and generating a local report identifying one or more unmanaged machines that have been detected within the selected portion of the network.

1. A method of monitoring unmanaged assets in a network having a plurality of managed machines, comprising:
at a first managed machine of the plurality of managed machines, wherein the plurality of managed machine are arranged in a linear communication orbit and have respective identifiers, and each managed machine is coupled to at least one respective neighbor by a corresponding local segment of the linear communication orbit:
responding to a detection instruction for detecting unmanaged assets currently present in the network, by:
scanning for live unmanaged machines within a selected portion of the network that is associated with a range of identifiers that includes identifiers between the respective identifiers of the first managed machine and a respective neighbor of the first managed machine; andgenerating a local report identifying one or more unmanaged machines that have been detected within the selected portion of the network.
