A system and method for real-time discovery and monitoring of multidimensional topology models describing structural aspects of applications and of computing infrastructure used to execute those applications is disclosed. Different types of agents are deployed to the monitored application execution infrastructure dedicated to capture specific topological aspects of the monitored system. Virtualization agents detect and monitor the virtualization structure of virtualized hardware used in the execution infrastructure, operating system agents deployed to individual operating systems monitor resource utilization, performance and communication of processes executed by the operating system and transaction agents deployed to processes participating in the execution of transactions, providing end-to-end transaction trace and monitoring data describing individual transaction executions. The monitoring and tracing data of the deployed agents contains correlation data that allows to create a topology model of the monitored system that integrates transaction execution, process execution and communication and virtualization related aspects.
