Skeletal Refresh for Management Platforms

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored therein that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to:

• responsive to an inventory event in a computing environment managed by a management platform, invoke, by the processing device, a relationship handler;
• obtain, by the processing device via the relationship handler, identifying attributes for a target managed object of the computing environment, the target managed object corresponding to the inventory event;
• update the obtained identifying attributes and relationship attributes corresponding to the target managed object in an inventory tree maintained by the management platform, the relationship attributes comprising an identification of affiliations between two or more managed objects;
• for each managed object affiliated to the target managed object, scheduling a job in a message queue to update detailed attributes for the managed object, the detailed attributes comprising attributes of the managed object that are not identifying attributes or relationship attributes;
• and
• for each scheduled job in the message queue, invoke, by the processing device, a detail handler to update the detailed attributes of the managed object corresponding to the scheduled job, the detail handler to execute in parallel with other detail handlers corresponding to other scheduled jobs in the message queue.

A system comprising:

• a memory to store an inventory tree for a management platform;
• and
• a processing device communicably coupled to the memory, the processing device to:
• determine an occurrence of an inventory event in a computing environment managed by the management platform, wherein the computing environment comprises a plurality of managed objects;
• obtain identifying attributes that are a subset of attributes for a target managed object of the plurality of managed objects, the target managed object corresponding to the inventory event;
• update the identifying attributes and relationship attributes corresponding to the target managed object in an inventory tree maintained by the management platform, the relationship attributes comprising an identification of affiliations between two or more managed objects;
• and
• for each managed object affiliated to the target managed object, scheduling a job in a message queue to update detailed attributes for the managed object, the detailed attributes comprising attributes of the managed object that are not identifying attributes or relationship attributes, wherein each scheduled job in the message queue to update the detailed attributes of the managed object corresponding to the scheduled job and to execute in parallel with other scheduled jobs in the message queue.
