Inventory any system, even the ones without a standard connector
You can now extend discovery to any system that exposes an API, using a custom integration you build, deploy, and run entirely inside your workspace.
Every organization runs systems that fall outside standard connectors: custom-built applications, bespoke vendor platforms, and emerging AI infrastructure. Until now, bridging those gaps required building, hosting, and maintaining a custom integration from scratch. AI coding tools have made writing code faster, but reliably hosting it securely has remained a significant engineering effort. The custom discovery connector eliminates that overhead.
AI-assisted integration authoring: Use the provided AI skill with your preferred coding assistant to describe the source system and what should be discovered. This generates an integration code scaffold using the standard pattern: call the API, transform the data, push to the review area. Refine and validate the code in the in-product code editor, then deploy with a single click after a sandbox verification step.
Managed execution and credential handling: Integration code runs directly inside your workspace with built-in credential management for API keys, OAuth tokens, and secrets. Subsequent syncs only submit net-new or changed items. There is no infrastructure to provision or maintain.
Review area for custom discoveries: Discovered assets land in a dedicated review area inside each configured integration, giving EA teams a staging environment to review, link, or reject items before they reach the inventory. Per-run sync logs provide full visibility into what was discovered, submitted, and flagged with errors.
