Systems, devices, and methods for software discovery using application id tags

A system for facilitating discovery of applications deployed on servers, the system comprising:

• a server of a server environment programmed to:
• interact with a user device to facilitate rendering a graphical user interface;
• receive user input via the graphical user interface identifying enterprise information related to a deployment of an application file within the server environment, the enterprise information including at least one of:
• an enterprise-specific server location at which the application file resides within the server environment, an entity within the enterprise responsible for maintenance of the application file, or an entity within the enterprise responsible for maintenance of the server on which the application file is executed;
• create an enterprise-specific application identifier tag file that includes the enterprise information;
• and
• create an association between the enterprise-specific application identifier tag file and the application file to facilitate discovery of the application file within the server environment, and to facilitate identification of the enterprise-specific server location at which the application file resides, the entity within the enterprise responsible for maintenance of the application file, or the entity within the enterprise responsible for maintenance of the server on which the application file is executed, the enterprise-specific application identifier tag file being stored within a database associated with the server environment.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions executable by a processing device, wherein execution of the instructions causes the processing device to implement a method of facilitating discovery of applications deployed on servers in a server environment, the method comprising:

• interacting with a user device to facilitate rendering a graphical user interface;
• receiving user input via the graphical user interface identifying enterprise information related to a deployment of an application file within a server environment, the enterprise information including at least one of:
• an enterprise-specific server location at which the application file resides within the server environment, an entity within the enterprise responsible for maintenance of the application file, or an entity within the enterprise responsible for maintenance of the server on which the application file is executed;
• creating an enterprise-specific application identifier tag file that includes the enterprise information;
• and
• creating an association between the enterprise-specific application identifier tag file and the application file to facilitate discovery of the application file within the server environment, and to facilitate identification of the enterprise-specific server location at which the application file resides, the entity within the enterprise responsible for maintenance of the application file, or the entity within the enterprise responsible for maintenance of the server on which the application file is executed, the enterprise-specific application identifier tag file being stored in a database associated with the server environment.
