Abstract
A system and method is disclosed for the combined analysis of transaction execution monitoring data and a topology model created from infrastructure monitoring data of computing systems involved in the execution of the monitored transactions. Monitored communication activities of transactions are analyzed to identify intermediate processing nodes between sender and receiver side and to enrich transaction monitoring data with data describing those intermediate processing nodes. The topology model may also be improved by the combined analysis, as functionality and services provided by elements of the topology model may be derived by the involvement of those elements in the execution of monitored transactions. The result of the combined analysis is used by an automated anomaly detection and causality estimation system. The combined analysis may also reveal entities of a monitored environment that are used by transaction executions but which are not monitored.
