Abstract
A method for modeling dependencies in a computing system including a plurality of resources, the method includes monitoring data communications made between the resources of the plurality of resources; modeling dependencies, at least among and between the resources, based, at least in part, upon the monitored data communications; and generating a set of topology graph(s), including at least a first topology graph, based upon the modeled dependencies.
Claims8
A method comprising:
- monitoring data communications between a plurality of resources in a computing environment;
- generating usage data, based on the data communications, for a plurality of resources;
- defining a resource pair from the plurality of resources, the resource pair including a first resource and a second resource, the data communications including a communication between the first resource and the second resource;
- determining resource relationship data including the usage data corresponding to the resource pair;
- computing a measure of bonding between the first resource and the second resource based, at least in part, on recency of the communication between the first resource and the second resource;
- generating a set of topology graph(s) based upon the measure of bonding between the first resource and the second resource;
- and
- displaying the set of topology graph(s), wherein the topology graph(s) indicate the measure of bonding between the pair of resources.
