System and method for providing trickle resource discovery

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• a data bus coupled to the processor;
• and
• a computer-usable medium embodying computer program code, the computer-usable medium being coupled to the data bus, the computer program code comprising instructions executable by the processor and configured for:
• retrieving a first entry from a plurality of trickle confirmation entries from a trickle confirmation queue, wherein the plurality of trickle confirmation entries from the trickle confirmation queue is associated with a first plurality of resources on a network, wherein the first plurality of resources require configuration confirmation;
• in response to the retrieving the first entry from the plurality of trickle confirmation entries, querying a first resource among the first plurality of resources associated with the first entry from the plurality of trickle confirmation entries for a potential change in configuration to the first resource;
• in response to detecting the potential change in configuration to the first resource, inserting the first entry from the plurality of trickle confirmation entries on a trickle update queue;
• retrieving a first entry from a plurality of trickle update entries from the trickle update queue, wherein the plurality of trickle update entries from the trickle update queue is associated with a second plurality of resources on the network, and wherein the second plurality of resources requires configuration update;
• and
• in response to retrieving the first entry from the plurality of trickle update entries, updating configuration information regarding a first resource associated with the first entry from the plurality of trickle update entries.
