Abstract
Embodiments presented herein provide apparatus and techniques for identifying and classifying processes and associated applications executing in a network. All processes executing in a network may be identified using a discovery process. The processes may be clustered based on associations between the processes. Suggested application entries may then be generated based at least in part on the clusters of processes. A configuration item type and a discovery pattern may be generated for each suggested application entry. A subsequent discovery process may use the configuration item type and discovery patterns to identify associated configuration items in the network.
