Building and fixing a dynamic application topology in a cloud based environment leveraging log file data

Abstract:

Provided are techniques for building and fixing a dynamic application topology. Log files are received from multiple sources comprising any of services and nodes. Information is extracted from the log files. An application topology is created for a particular point in time for an application that provides hierarchical relationships of components for executing the application using the extracted information. One or more problems in the application topology are identified. A solution is applied to each of the one or more problems.
