Abstract

A computing system is provided, including a processor and memory storing instructions that cause the processor to execute a domain name service (DNS) log analyzer configured to identify a container identifier associated with a DNS request and a destination IP address associated with a DNS response to the DNS request, using one or more DNS logs, a fleet management system record analyzer configured to identify a first service associated with the container identifier and a second service associated with the destination IP address, using one or more fleet management system logs, and a dependency map generator configured to generate a service-to-service dependency map between the identified first service and the identified second service.
