Method of mapping applications executed by machines in a network
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11956335B1) discloses a method for mapping applications executed by machines in a network. The method involves initializing an application dependency map, sending queries to endpoint machines in the network, and adding layers of application mapping information to the map based on the responses received. The application mapping procedure aims to identify relationships among application components of multi-tier applications and provide an interactive user interface for users to visualize and interact with the application dependency map. Additionally, the method includes features such as filtering options, security and risk information presentation, and the ability to determine the need for further queries based on the information received.
Furthermore, the patent also covers a server system and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing programs configured for executing the application mapping procedure. The server system includes processors and memory storing programs that aggregate application mapping information from endpoint machines to generate the application dependency map. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium contains instructions for initializing the map, sending queries, receiving and updating information, and presenting additional information overlaid on the map. The method is designed to efficiently map distributed processing of applications across multiple machines in the network, providing administrators with a comprehensive view of application dependencies and facilitating decision-making processes related to network management and optimization.
