Persistent storage may contain a list of discovery commands, the discovery commands respectively associated with lists of network addresses. A discovery validation application, when executed by one or more processors, may be configured to: read, from the persistent storage, the list of discovery commands and the lists of network addresses; for each discovery command in the list of discovery commands, transmit, by way of one or more proxy servers deployed external to the system, the discovery command to each network address in the respectively associated list of network addresses; receive, by way of the one or more proxy servers, discovery results respectively corresponding to each of the discovery commands that were transmitted, wherein the discovery results either indicate success or failure of the discovery commands; and write, to the persistent storage, the discovery results.

Rapid error detection through command validation

Persistent storage may contain an input discovery payload that contains entries representing configuration items and relationships therebetween, wherein the configuration items contain attributes defining devices, components, or applications on a network. One or more processors may be configured to: provide, for display, a graphical user interface containing a representation of the input discovery payload and a button; provide the input discovery payload to an identification and reconciliation engine (IRE) software application; receive, from the IRE software application, an output discovery payload that includes a log generated from execution of the IRE software application on the input discovery payload, wherein the log indicates, for the configuration items and the relationships in the input discovery payload, how a configuration management database (CMDB) would be updated by the IRE software application; and provide, for display, a further graphical user interface containing a further representation of the output discovery payload.
