Frameworx Application: Resource Discovery

Category: (2) TAM Application Type

Application Identifier: 7.4.1

Maturity Level: 4

Overview

The resource Discovery applications are responsible for automatically discovering the resources and their details through an management channel. These applications may either directly communicate with the Network resources or communicate through a Resource Domain Manager.

Functionality

The resource discovery applications are one of the core applications of Resource Management and provide a feedback loop from the resource. In many cases where the accurate topology is not available in OS systems, they provide the only source of topology for management.

These applications will either communicate directly or through a Domain Manager to retrieve the resource information details. The applications should be able to support either retrieving the overall resource information or the detailed resource information which can include sub-components.

There are a number of users for the discovered information. For example, the Resource Inventory system will use the discovered information to reconcile its data against as-is information while a Resource Root Cause Analysis application will use the discovered topology to enrich the event and pinpoint the true root cause.
