SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR USING METADATA TO SEARCH FOR RELATED COMPUTER INFRASTRUCTURE COMPONENTS

摘要

A computer system for crawling computer infrastructure inventory data includes a processor and a memory device coupled to the processor. The computer system also includes an inventory database system stored on the memory device. The inventory database system includes computer-executable instructions allowing the computer to manage stored records. The computer system is configured to (a) retrieve an inventory record from the inventory database system, the inventory record containing inventory data, (b) determine that the inventory data contains relational inventory metadata, (c) determine that the relational inventory metadata indicates at least one related inventory record, and (d) perform step (a) on the at least one related inventory record.

1. A computer-implemented method for crawling computer infrastructure inventory data, the method implemented by a computing device coupled to a memory device, the method comprising:
(a) using the computing device to retrieve an inventory record from an inventory database system, the inventory record containing inventory data; (b) determining that the inventory data contains relational inventory metadata; (c) determining that the relational inventory metadata indicates at least one related inventory record; and (d) performing step (a) on the at least one related inventory record.
