SERVICE MAPPING BASED ON DISCOVERED KEYWORDS

Abstract:

A computing system is disposed within a computational instance of a remote network management platform associated with a managed network. The computing system (i) performs a discovery process that identifies attributes of computing devices and software applications disposed within the managed network; (ii) generates a list of keywords based on the identified attributes as stored, including a particular keyword associated with a first computing device or a first software application of those disposed within the managed network; (iii) searches for the particular keyword in one or more files from the managed network; (iv) determines that the particular keyword is included in a file associated with a second computing device or a second software application of those disposed within the managed network; and (v) defines an operational mapping between: (a) the first computing device or the first software application and (b) the second computing device or the second software application.
