Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 11:
12. A computing device comprising:
a storage to store:
an input query specifying how computing resources of an information technology (IT) infrastructure are discovered, the input query having a filter parameter; and
one or more discovery jobs for the input query, each discovery job having a job parameter and associated with a trigger query that is a subset of the input query;

a processor; and
a memory storing program code executable by the processor to:
for each discovery job, calculate one or more trigger configuration items (CIs) based on the trigger query of the discovery job, such that the filter parameter of the input query is replaced with the job parameter in the one or more trigger CIs for the discovery job;
initiate discovery of computing resources of an information technology (IT) infrastructure by dispatching each trigger CI of the one or more trigger CIs for each discovery job;
as discovery of the computing resources occurs, receive CIs representing the computing resources matching the one or more trigger CIs of the discovery jobs and populate the CIs within a configuration management database (CMDB).
