Abstract

A method for processing data includes performing an extract-transform-load operation on a set of application activity data to provide a topology index comprising a plurality of unique entries, extracting node information and connection information for an application data structure and building a data structure corresponding to the application therefrom, and providing information from the application topology data structure to a user. A computer program product corresponding to the method is also disclosed herein. Also disclosed is an apparatus for processing data comprising a processing module configured to perform an extract-transform-load operation on application activity data, an extraction module configured to extract node and connection information for the application, and a topology calculator configured to build a topology data structure corresponding to the application. The apparatus may additionally include a persistent data store configured to store the topology index.
