SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SELECTIVE DISCOVERY OF SERVICES

Abstract:

A system and a process are disclosed for selective discovery of services. Present embodiments include a graphical user interface (GUI) that enables a designer to create and configure a discovery schedule that includes one or more filters. These filters enable the designer to define particular attributes and attribute values of services or service groups. Each time the discovery schedule is executed, the discovery scheduler again determines which currently defined services satisfy the conditions of the filters, and then instructs a discovery server to discover only the qualifying services associated with a client network.
