Discovery of hyper-converged infrastructure devices

A method comprising:

• requesting and receiving, from a first controller and by a proxy server application, computing cluster data that identifies a computing cluster, wherein the first controller is associated with one of a plurality of computing devices of the computing cluster, wherein the computing cluster and the proxy server application are disposed within a managed network, wherein the computing cluster provides networking, storage, and virtualization services distributed across the plurality of computing devices, wherein the plurality of computing devices are communicatively coupled via a local-area network, and wherein each computing device is configured to execute one or more respective software applications and comprises:
• (i) a respective controller, and (ii) a respective storage device;
• requesting and receiving, from the first controller and by the proxy server application, storage pool data that identifies a storage pool of the computing cluster, wherein the storage pool is provided by the storage devices of the plurality of computing devices;
• requesting and receiving, from the first controller and by the proxy server application, storage container data that identifies storage containers of the storage pool, wherein a storage container includes a subset of available storage in the storage pool;
• requesting and receiving, from the first controller and by the proxy server application, controller data that identifies the controllers of the plurality computing devices;
• and
• providing, to a database disposed within a remote network management platform and by the proxy server application, the computing cluster data, the storage pool data, the storage container data, and the controller data.

An article of manufacture including a non-transitory computer-readable medium, having stored thereon program instructions that, upon execution by a proxy server application disposed within a managed network, cause the proxy server application to perform operations comprising:

• requesting and receiving, from a first controller, computing cluster data that identifies a computing cluster, wherein the first controller is associated with one of a plurality of computing devices of the computing cluster, wherein the computing cluster is disposed within the managed network, wherein the computing cluster provides networking, storage, and virtualization services distributed across the plurality of computing devices, wherein the plurality of computing devices are communicatively coupled via a local-area network, and wherein each computing device is configured to execute one or more respective software applications and comprises:
• (i) a respective controller, and (ii) a respective storage device, and
• requesting and receiving, from the first controller, storage pool data that identifies a storage pool of the computing cluster, wherein the storage pool is provided by the storage devices of the plurality of computing devices;
• requesting and receiving, from the first controller, storage container data that identifies storage containers of the storage pool, wherein a storage container includes a subset of available storage in the storage pool;
• requesting and receiving, from the first controller, controller data that identifies the controllers of the plurality computing devices;
• and
• providing, to a database disposed within a remote network management platform, the computing cluster data, the storage pool data, the storage container data, and the controller data.
