Alerting based on service dependencies of modeled processes

摘要

A method, system, and computer program product for raising an alert when some subject process is impacted by performance degradation of a software application are disclosed. The real word process may be modeled and executed on a computing device. Service dependencies in the modeled process are correlated to services provided by a managed application. An APM system monitors the managed application to determine when the services it provides may have some degradation. When a degradation of performance of the managed application is determined, a modeled process that has a service dependency that correlates to the degraded performance is determined. Then, an alert is generated to indicate that the process being modeled may be comprised. Therefore, instead of simply reporting that the managed application has some degradation, the alert provides a warning that some broader process outside of the managed application may be compromised.
