Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes determining, by a device executing an observability extension that monitors an application, variables of the application that specify an accessible location for a software bill of materials of the application and generating, by the observability extension, an indication of the accessible location for the software bill of materials of the application. The method further includes detecting, by the observability extension, creation of an observability-based data structure during monitoring of execution of the application and inserting, by the observability extension, the indication of the accessible location for the software bill of materials of the application into the observability-based data structure for transmission to an end recipient of the observability-based data structure.
