Distributed application resource determination based on performance metrics

Abstract:

In one example, a system may include an application monitoring server and an endpoint in communication with the application monitoring server. Example endpoint may include an agent to collect performance metrics associated with a program running in the endpoint and a discovery unit in communication with the agent. The discovery unit may include a metric parser to receive the performance metrics in a source format and parse the received performance metrics. Further, the discovery unit may include a resource extractor to apply a transformation definition to the parsed performance metrics to determine a plurality of resources in a destination format. The plurality of resources may be associated with an application being executed in the endpoint. Furthermore, the discovery unit may include a transmitting unit to transmit the performance metrics and first information associated with the plurality of resources to the application monitoring server via a network.
