Abstract
A computing system includes a database and a discovery application. The discovery application obtains credentials for accessing a server hosting a software bus application which connects a plurality of applications within a managed network. The discovery application selects, based on a pattern corresponding to the software bus application, one or more files to access, transmits, to the server, instructions to access the one or more files, and receives therefrom data identifying a plurality of attributes of the software bus application. Based on this data, the discovery application transmits, to the server, instructions to identify communicative connections established between the plurality of software applications by way of the software bus application and receives therefrom data identifying the communicative connections. Based on (i) the plurality of attributes and (ii) the communicative connections, the discovery application generates a mapping that represents the communicative connections and stores the mapping in the database.
