A method comprising: receiving object identifiers associated with each entity of an enterprise network, receiving relationship data indicating directionality of data flow between two or more entities of enterprise network, receiving search query which includes at least one of an object identifier associated with one of the entities or relationship data indicating directionality of data flow associated with one of the entities, traversing a portion of topology to identify objects of the portion of the topology and a pivot point, the pivot point being directionally coupled to at least three objects, identifying two mini-topologies based on two of the least three objects of the pivot point, traversing each of the two mini-topologies to identify further objects within the portion of the topology, generating a partial topology based on the traversal of the portion of the topology and of the mini-topologies, and providing information including objects identified in the partial topology.

Systems and methods for hub and spoke cross topology traversal

A method comprising: receiving from a third party virtualization platform: virtual machine manager identifiers identifying virtual machine managers, hypervisor identifiers identifying hypervisors and virtual machine identifiers identifying virtual machines, generating a first logical mapping of virtual machine managers to hypervisors, generating a second logical mapping of hypervisors to virtual machines, generating a third logical mapping of virtual machines to other virtual machines, receiving from network probes hypervisor traffic data identifying communication between hypervisors and entities of a switch fabric and virtual machine traffic data identifying communication between virtual machines to entities of the switch fabric, generating a fourth logical mapping of hypervisors to entities of the switch fabric based on the hypervisor traffic data, generating a fifth logical mapping virtual machines to entities of the switch fabric based on the virtual machine traffic data, and outputting a master mapping based on the first, second, fourth, and fifth logical mappings.
