Abstract
Application dependency mapping can be automated in a network. The network can capture traffic data for flows passing through the network using a sensor network that provides multiple perspectives for the traffic. The network can analyze the traffic data to identify endpoints of the network. The network can also identify particular network configurations from the traffic data, such as a load balancing schema or a subnetting schema. The network can partition the endpoints based on the network configuration(s) and perform similarity measurements of endpoints in each partition to determine clusters of each partition. The clusters can make up nodes of an application dependency map, and relationships between and among the clusters can make up edges of the application dependency map.
