DataSourceAccess node

Each time an data source is discovered, a DataSourceAccess node is created. It has relationships to the retrieved discovery information. DataSourceAccess nodes are created even if discovery fails, so that failed access is clearly identified in the model.

The endpoint attribute of a DataSourceAccess node describes the target used for discovery. The target for discovery is currently an IP v4 or IP v6 address.

DataSourceAccess Lifecycle

The following section describes the scenarios in which a DataSourceAccess is created or destroyed. DDD nodes are never updated.

Creation

A DataSourceAccess node is created when a data source pattern is triggered as part of discovery.

Removal

Aging parameters exist for Directly Discovered Data Nodes which have a particular cut-off time. The Aging process will remove any DataSourceAccess Nodes and all of the other DDD Nodes associated with that node if this default time period is exceeded.

However, if the DataSourceAccess Node is the only one for an endpoint, then it is not removed, unless it is considered dark space. This enables BMC Discovery to keep a permanent record of every endpoint that has ever been scanned. These DataSourceAccess Nodes are the only ones which can exceed the default cut-off Aging process.

The cut-off time is configurable, see DDD removal for more information.

Attributes and relationships of the DataSourceAccess node

The attributes of the DataSourceAccess node are described in the following table:

UI Name Attribute Name and Type	Description
Data Source Name name : string	Data source name
Scope scope : string	Distinguish overlapping address spaces
Endpoint endpoint : string	Accessed endpoint
Database Name database : string	Database name
Port port : int	Port number
Start Time starttime : date	Date and time this data source access was created
Discovery Start Time discovery_starttime : date	Date and time access started
Failure Reason reason : string	Reason for failure, if any
Not shown in UI _consolidation_done : list:string	List of the consolidation appliance identifiers this SA has been be sent to
Retrieved by scanning appliance is_consolidation : boolean	If present, always have the value True and indicates that the data for this DataSourceAccess originated from a scanning appliance before being consolidated on this one
