Monitoring and managing services in legacy systems using cloud native monitoring and managing tools

A system for monitoring and managing an application executing on a legacy system, the system comprising:

• a monitoring tool;
• a management tool;
• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory comprising computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
• discover network addresses of services running in the application on the legacy system;
• based on the discovered network addresses, obtain metrics data associated with the services running on the legacy system, the metrics data representing an execution load of the application;
• compare the obtained metrics data to one or more performance thresholds;
• determine, based on the comparison, whether to adjust a quantity of instances of the application on a cloud native system;
• and
• based on the determination, automatically trigger an adjustment of the quantity of instances of the application executing on the cloud native system to share the execution load between the legacy system and the cloud native system.

One or more non-transitory computer storage media having computer-executable instructions for monitoring and managing an application executing on a legacy system, upon execution by a processor, cause the processor to at least:

• discover network addresses of services running in the application on the legacy system;
• based on the discovered network addresses, obtain metrics data associated with the services running on the legacy system, the metrics data representing an execution load of the application;
• compare the obtained metrics data to one or more performance thresholds;
• determine, based on the comparison, whether to adjust a quantity of instances of the application on a cloud native system;
• and
• based on the determination, automatically trigger an adjustment of the quantity of instances of the application executing on the cloud native system to share the execution load between the legacy system and the cloud native system.
