Abstract

A method and system for discovering and presenting access information of network applications includes: collecting access information between IP endpoints from a network packet collection; generating network diagrams; determining whether application component information needs to be configured, if yes, configuring application components, while if no, outputting the network diagrams; mapping the configuration information of the application components to the access information between the IP endpoints to obtain the access information based on the application components; updating the network diagrams according to the access information based on the application components; and outputting the network diagrams. In the present invention, collecting the access information of the application components through analyzing network packets does not affect the performance and security of computing nodes and network equipment in network environment; timely finding changes in access relations of the application components through snapshotting and comparing access relation views of the application components.
