ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to network management, particularly to configuration discovery. The inventive computerized method/system utilize a standard agent-manager network management system having an inventive add-on agent operatively coupled to a database resides on a managed device. The add-on agent is a piece of software and is configured to communicate with the standard agent, and receives a request directed to and forwarded by the standard agent, retrieves stored information from the database operatively coupled to the add-on agent, and passes the retrieved information to the standard agent. The information stored on the database operatively coupled to the add-on agent is associated with an application run on the managed device. Since this information is passed to the standard agent, the standard agent can pass this information to the standard manager. The standard manger is modified to interpret that information and display a representation of the application run on the managed device.
