Abstract
A method for prioritized scanning of resources within an Information Technology (IT) infrastructure includes prioritizing resources by likelihood of each resource being relevant to a target problem and scanning resources that have a higher likelihood of being relevant to the target problem before scanning resources that have a lower likelihood of being relevant to the target problem. A system for prioritized scanning of an IT infrastructure includes a resource list, the resource list identifying at least a portion of resources within the IT infrastructure; a plurality of tags, each of the plurality of tags being associated with a the resource, the plurality of tags being configured to monitor the resources identified in the resource list and generate an output, the output being related to a likelihood that the resources contain information related to a problem within the IT infrastructure; and a scanning program configured to scan resources with a higher likelihood of containing information related to the problem before scanning resources with a lower likelihood of containing information relating to the problem.
