Automated inventory of iot devices

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer readable code executable by one or more processors to:

• obtain a discovery information from a network device, wherein the discovery information identifies an identifier, a location, and one or more capabilities of the network device, wherein the discovery information is obtained based on a discovery message detected by a management instrumentation discovery (MID) server;
• automatically modify a data structure of an inventory data store to include the identifier, the location, and the one or more capabilities based on the discovery message, wherein the inventory data store identifies enterprise assets and configurations of the enterprise assets;
• and
• provide the modified data structure of the inventory data store to a controller such that the network device is usable by the controller.

A system for improving automated discovery of inventory, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more memory devices coupled to the one or more processors and comprising computer readable code executable by the one or more processors to:
• obtain a discovery information from a network device, wherein the discovery information identifies an identifier, a location, and one or more capabilities of the network device, wherein the discovery information is obtained based on a discovery message detected by a management instrumentation discovery (MID) server;
• automatically modify a data structure of an inventory data store to include the identifier, the location, and the one or more capabilities based on the discovery message, wherein the inventory data store identifies enterprise assets and configurations of the enterprise assets;
• and
• provide the modified data structure of the inventory data store to a controller such that the network device is usable by the controller.
