Disclosed are systems and methods for implementation of a rolling key to identify systems inventories. One method may include receiving, by a processing device of an inventory server from a client system, a key and a key component, wherein the key component comprises a random string of characters generated by the client system to uniquely identify the client system; identifying, using the key as an identifier, the client system in an inventory database of the inventory server; transmitting an acknowledgement to the client system that the client system has been identified in the inventory database and that the inventory server received the key component, the acknowledgement to cause the client system to store the key component as part of a new key used to identify the client system; and storing the key component, wherein storing the key component causes a modification of the key used to identify the client system.

Implementation of rolling key to identify systems inventories

A graphical user interface (GUI) can be tested using a navigation system to access objects. As an example, a processing device in a system can receive a selection of an object. The selection can be made through the GUI. In response to the selection, the processing device retrieves the object and a destination at which the object is located. The processing device recursively traverses a backwards navigation path from the destination to the graphical user interface using the name of the object and the destination. The processing device can then navigate to the destination using the backwards navigation path.

Methods and systems for implementing multi-endpoint methods are disclosed. For example, an Application Programming Interface ('API') executing on a processor receives a first request to execute a first method. The API processes the first request with an active context including a list of implementations, the list including one or more implementations of a plurality of implementations respectively associated with a plurality of endpoints including a first endpoint and a first implementation. The API is determined to be executing in either a preferential mode or a strict mode. In preferential mode the API selects preferential implementation from the plurality of implementations. In strict mode, the API selects a selected implementation from the list of implementations. The API either selects the first implementation or a preferred implementation. The first request is then processed by either the first endpoint or another endpoint associated with the preferential implementation.
