Modeling computer network topology based on dynamic usage relationships

摘要

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.

1. 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.
