Abstract
The disclosure herein describes using a monitoring tool and a management tool from a cloud native system to monitor and manage an application executing on a legacy system. Network addresses of services running in the application on the legacy systems are discovered. Based on the discovered addresses, a probe is configured for execution on the legacy system by a monitoring tool deployed on the legacy system to obtain metrics data associated with the services running on the legacy system, the metrics data representing execution loads of the application. A management tool deployed on the cloud native system receives the obtained metrics data. The management tool compares the metrics data to one or more performance thresholds associated with the application. Based on the comparison, the management tool adjusts a quantity of instances of the application running on the cloud native system, enabling the cloud native system to share the execution loads.
