Abstract
Presented herein are methodologies for implementing application security. A method includes generating an extraction vector based on a plurality of application security rules to be enforced, transmitting the extraction vector to a first agent operating on a first network device and to a second agent operating on a second network device; receiving, separately, from the first agent and from the second agent, first metadata generated by the first agent and second metadata generated by the second agent by the agents applying the extraction vector to network traffic passing, respectively, through the first network device and the second network device. The first metadata includes a transaction ID assigned by the first agent, and the second metadata includes the same transaction ID. The method further includes correlating the first metadata with the second metadata based on the transaction ID to construct a transactional service graph for the network traffic.
