Abstract
Identifying a component within an application executed in a network includes obtaining a traffic matrix, the traffic matrix defining a rate for which packets of data are exchanged between VMs corresponding to an application, analyzing the traffic matrix to identify VMs within a component, modifying the traffic matrix to create a modified traffic matrix, and defining, for the application, a tenant application graph (TAG) model based on the modified traffic matrix.
Claims15
A method for identifying a component within an application executed in a network, the method comprising:
- obtaining a traffic matrix, the traffic matrix defining a rate for which packets of data are exchanged between virtual machines (VMs) corresponding to an application;
- modifying the traffic matrix to create a modified traffic matrix;
- and
- defining, for the application, a tenant application graph (TAG) model based on the modified traffic matrix.
A system for identifying a component within an application executed in a network, the system comprising:
- an obtaining engine to obtain a traffic matrix, the traffic matrix defining a rate for which packets of data are exchanged between virtual machines (VMs) corresponding to an application;
- a modifying engine to modify the traffic matrix to create a modified traffic matrix;
- a defining engine to define, for the application, a tenant application graph (TAG) model based on the modified traffic matrix;
- and
- in which the defining engine further merges a number of unassigned VMs to sets of VMs created by a trunk identification method to further define the TAG model.
A computer program product for identifying a component within an application executed in a network, comprising:
- a tangible computer readable storage medium, said tangible computer readable storage medium comprising computer readable program code embodied therewith, said computer readable program code comprising program instructions that, when executed, causes a processor to:
- modify a traffic matrix to create a modified traffic matrix;
- and
- define, for an application, a tenant application graph (TAG) model based on the modified traffic matrix.
