Abstract
Systems and methods provide automatic discovery of cluster membership based on transaction processing. An example method includes, at a source node of a first tier of nodes, generating a service identifier for a transaction that requests a service hosted by a second tier, the service identifier being based on a logical identifier for the second tier. The method also includes sending the transaction, including the service identifier, from the source node to the service hosted by the second tier. The method includes, at a destination node in the second tier, obtaining the service identifier from the transaction and reporting the service identifier with a destination node identifier to a visibility server as cluster information. The method also includes, at the visibility server, receiving cluster information from a plurality of destination nodes and assigning each of the plurality of destination nodes to a cluster based on the service identifiers.
