1. A non-transitory computer-readable data storage medium storing program code executable by a processor to perform processing comprising:
prior to initiating discovery of computing resources of an information technology (IT) infrastructure:
receiving an input query specifying how the computing resources are discovered, the input query having a filter parameter;
receiving a discovery job for the input query, the discovery job having a job parameter and associated with a trigger query that is a subset of the input query;
calculating one or more trigger configuration items (CIs) based on the trigger query, such that the filter parameter of the input query is replaced with the job parameter in the one or more trigger CIs;
initiating discovery of the computing resources by dispatching each trigger CI of the one or more trigger CIs; and
as discovery of the computing resources occurs, receiving CIs representing the computing resources matching the one or more trigger CIs and populating the CIs within a configuration management database (CMDB).
