According to some embodiments, a system provides a resource service module, a resource data record repository, and a provider module. The resource service module exposes an interface, receives an invocation of the interface from a system management module, and requests managed resource data associated with a manageable resource based on the invocation. The resource data record repository includes a resource data record indicating a memory location of a managed host in which the managed resource data is stored, and the provider module receives the request and retrieves the managed resource data from the memory location of the managed host.
