Abstract

Application dependency mapping (ADM) can be automated in a network. The network can determine whether certain nodes form a cluster of a tier of an application. The network can monitor network data and process data for traffic passing through the network using a sensor network that provides multiple perspectives for the traffic. The network can analyze the network data and process data to determine respective feature vectors for nodes. A feature vector may represent a combination of the features corresponding to the network data and the features corresponding to the process data of a node. The network can compare the similarity of the respective feature vectors and determine each node's cluster based on similarity measures between nodes.
