A system may include a database disposed within a remote network management platform, a server device disposed in the platform, and a client device. The database may contain representations of configuration items, such as computing devices and software applications associated with the managed network. The server device may provide a graphical user interface including a sequence of panes to the client device. The sequence of panes may include an identifier pane, an identification rules pane, and a reconciliation pane. Each pane may include data entry fields that are operable to define a new class of configuration item. The server device may receive, by way of the graphical user interface, a definition of the new class that uniquely identifies configuration items of a particular type using at least the attributes. The server may store, in the database, the definition of the new class.

Guided configuration item class creation in a remote network management platform

A failure resistant distributed computing system includes primary and secondary datacenters each comprising a plurality of computerized servers. A control center selects orchestrations from a predefined list and transmits the orchestrations to the datacenters. Transmitted orchestrations include less than all machine-readable actions necessary to execute the orchestrations. The datacenters execute each received orchestration by referencing a full set of actions corresponding to the received orchestration as previously stored or programmed into the computerized server and executing the referenced full set of actions. At least one of the orchestrations comprises a failover operation from the primary datacenter to the secondary datacenter. Failover shifts performance of task from a set of processing nodes of the primary datacenter to a set of processing nodes of the secondary datacenter, such tasks including managing storage accessible by one or more remote clients and running programs on behalf of remote clients.

Failure resistant distributed computing system

A remote network management platform may include a database containing representations of configuration items associated with a managed network that is managed by the remote network management platform. The remote network management platform may further include a server device. The server device may be configured to obtain a plurality of preferred relationships for a particular configuration item class. The server device may be further configured to store, in the database, the plurality of preferred relationships. The server device may also be configured to visually provide indications of one or more respective pairings of relationship types and target configuration item classes from a plurality of preferred relationships, receive a selection of a particular relationship type and a particular target configuration item class in accordance with one of the indications, and store, in the database, the particular configuration item with the particular relationship type and the particular target configuration item class.
