Abstract
A software agent executing on a computing device receives a request from a client to provide data associated with neighboring devices to the computing device. The client includes a scan engine to perform a network scan of a network that includes the computing device. The software agent accesses device data in a cache of an operating system command, determines, based on the device data, an identifier associated with each device that is neighboring the computing device, converts the device data into a standardized format to create neighboring device data, and sends the neighboring device data to the client.
