Abstract
A security appliance is used to evaluate the software defined infrastructure. The security appliance includes a data ingestion and query engine. The data ingestion and query engine is configured to retrieve data associated with a resource in the software defined infrastructure, the data stored in a tree structure, extract selective information for the resource from the retrieved data, and generate a NI model for the resource, with the NI model including a plurality of fields and associated value types. A path document for each of the fields is generated, with the path document including a plurality of attributes related to the resource in the software defined infrastructure. The generated path document for each of the fields of the NI model is stored in a data store of the security appliance.
