Discovery Event Manager

The Discovery Event Manager tool provides you with information about configuration items (CIs) in use by your organization. Discovery Event Manager collects data from associated Web services, such as the Micro Focus Universal Configuration Management Database (UCMDB) for enterprise IT organizations. UCMDB captures, documents, and stores information about CIs, service dependencies, and relationships that support business services. The Discovery Event Manager tool takes the information captured by UCMDB and compares the actual state of each incoming CI record (both existing and new) to the managed field state of the CI record in Service Manager.

If the actual state of an incoming UCMDB CI record differs from the managed field state of the CI record in Service Manager, the Discovery Event Manager tool works with Configuration Management and Change Management to perform any required changes to the incoming CI record according to the rules you have set in the Discovery Event Manager tool.
