Data socket descriptor attributes for application discovery in data centers

摘要

In one embodiment, a system includes a processing circuit and logic integrated with and/or executable by the processing circuit. The logic is configured to cause the processing circuit to collect all data socket descriptor databases from individual servers operating in a data center, each data socket descriptor database storing attributes of a base socket and one or more data socket descriptors used by an application or application instance operating on an individual server. The logic is also configured to cause the processing circuit to store data from the data socket descriptor databases for all applications and application instances operating in the data center in a central data socket descriptor database, the central data socket descriptor database being configured to store attributes of all data socket descriptors used by all applications or application instances operating in the data center.
