Abstract
An example method includes: executing, by application analysis software executing in the virtualized computing system, process discovery agents on the VMs; receiving, at the application analysis software from the process discovery agents, process metadata describing processes executing on the VMs; generating signatures for the processes based on the process metadata; determining components of an application based on the signatures; determining components of an application based on the signatures; identifying, for a first component of the components, a component-specific metadata collector; executing, by the application analysis software, the component-specific metadata collector on a first VM of the VMs; and receiving, at the application analysis software from the component-specific metadata collector, custom metadata further describing a first process of the processes associated with the first component.
