Discovery
Automated cloud resource discovery and inventory management.
Discovery
The Discovery module automatically identifies and inventories all resources across connected cloud accounts and infrastructure providers. It normalises resources from every provider into a unified record format and stores them in the platform database, making them available across the MCM platform.
How It Works
- Runs against connected account credentials on a configurable schedule (e.g. every 30 minutes).
- Users can trigger a manual discovery run at any time.
- Builds a resource topology representing relationships between resources (VPC → Subnet → EC2, etc.).
- Discovered resources are stored in MongoDB and surfaced in the MCM UI resource inventory.
