    摘要: Systems and methods for streaming billing data associated with third-party network resources consumed by a managed network to a remote network management platform are disclosed. Streaming of billing usage data associated with third-party resources may use resource identifiers to associate resources with line items in a service bill generated by the third-party network. A proxy server in the managed network may intermediate streaming from the third-party network to a remote server in a computational instance of the remote network management platform. Billing data may be recorded partly in a metric-base database configured for storing time series data corresponding to usage quantities of third-party resources consumed by the managed network per unit time, and partly in a static records database configured for storing database records associated with the time series data, and including data for identifying the third-party resources and for recording static information relating to billing for the third-party resources.

    摘要: Systems and methods for the deployment of network resource information based on a containment structure are herein disclosed as comprising, in an implementation, determining, using a configuration item representative of a resource within the configuration management database, a first set of properties associated with a resource type, wherein the first set of properties comprises a subset of the global property set, determining a second set of properties based on deployment rules, such as a containment relationship defining properties included within a parent configuration item of the configuration management database, wherein the second set of properties comprises a subset of the first set of properties, provisioning the resource with the second set of properties, and communicating the provisioned resource for activation within the computer network. In an implementation, a deployment agent can be configured to provision a resource with the second set of properties.

    摘要: Systems and techniques for deploying resources within a computing infrastructure are herein disclosed as comprising, in an implementation, executing a first deployment agent to perform a first deployment action, the first deployment agent configured to deploy a first resource to a first device; changing a deployment state of the first deployment agent responsive to performing the first deployment action; and executing a second deployment agent to perform a second deployment action, the second deployment agent configured to deploy a second resource to a second device. The second deployment agent performs the second deployment action in response to a change in a deployment state of an arbitrary deployment agent not explicitly identified within the second deployment agent. A deployment plan configured to cause the execution of the first and second deployment agents includes an identification of the first deployment agent as the arbitrary deployment agent.

    摘要: A computing system disposed within a computational instance of a remote network management platform remotely manages a managed network that uses computational resources of a third-party network to deploy operations. The computing system may obtain a utilization policy that identifies (i) particular computational resources of the third-party network used to deploy a particular operation and (ii) a time period during which the particular computational resources can be used. The computing system may be configured to: obtain a utilization report that identifies (i) the computational resources used to deploy the operations and (ii) times at which the computational resources were used; determine that the particular computational resources deployed the particular operation outside the time period identified by the utilization policy; generate a report indicating that the particular computational resources deployed the particular operation outside the time period; and provide the report to the managed network.
