work / 03 / Agentless discovery

Concierto Scout, an IT discovery appliance

An agentless appliance that ships as a single VM image and maps a customer's estate - servers, databases, performance, and dependencies - over SSH, WinRM, and TDS, with nothing installed on targets.

  1. 01 Ships as a self-contained OVA: React console, FastAPI backend, Python orchestrator, and a fleet of Go collector binaries declared in a build manifest.
  2. 02 Agentless by design: reaches out over SSH, WinRM, and TDS to collect inventory, performance, and dependency data - nothing is ever installed on customer servers.
  3. 03 "Database-is-the-bus" architecture: components coordinate only through one embedded store, so collectors can be swapped with zero API or schema change.
  4. 04 Encrypted credential vault, byte-compatible between the Python backend (encrypts) and the Go collectors (decrypt); secrets passed off the process table.
