Resource correlation prediction

An application dependency and discovery data processing system comprising:

• a configuration management database (CMDB);
• an application dependency and discovery server coupled to the CMDB;
• a discovery engine coupled to the application dependency and discovery server and configured to automatically discover resources in a communicatively linked monitored system;
• and,
• predictive resource mapping logic coupled to the discovery engine and comprising program code enabled to filter the automatically discovered resources to a set of resources likely to match a manually specified resource, to map the manually specified resource to a resource in the filtered set of resources, and to store the mapping in the CMDB.

A computer program product comprising a computer usable medium embodying computer usable program code for resource mapping for application dependency and discovery, the computer program product comprising:

• computer usable program code for automatically discovering resources in a monitored system;
• computer usable program code for manually specifying a resource in the monitored system;
• computer usable program code for filtering the automatically discovered resources to a set of resources likely to match the manually specified resource;
• and,
• computer usable program code for mapping the manually specified resource to a resource in the filtered set of resources.
