Abstract
A system may include a database, where a managed network includes a computing cluster that provides networking, storage, and virtualization services distributed across a plurality of computing devices, where each computing device can execute one or more respective software applications and comprises: (i) a respective controller, and (ii) a respective storage device, and where the storage devices of the plurality of computing devices collectively form a storage pool. The system may also include a proxy server application configured to: request and receive computing cluster data that identifies the computing cluster; request and receive storage pool data that identifies the storage pool; request and receive storage container data that identifies storage containers of the storage pool; request and receive controller data that identifies the controllers of the plurality computing devices; and provide, to the database, the computing cluster data, the storage pool data, the storage container data, and the controller data.
