  • Use of graph databases for replicating topology and enriching monitoring data streams in complex information technology systems
    Patent number: 11960457
    Abstract: The systems and techniques include storing topology from each of a plurality of source tools as a plurality of source subgraphs in a graph database using a source schema that mirrors a source topology model for each of the plurality of source tools. Each of the plurality of source subgraphs in the graph database is transformed to a plurality of destination subgraphs using a destination schema and transformation rules that mirror a destination topology model for each of a plurality of destination tools. The plurality of destination subgraphs are stored in the graph database. The topology is delivered to each of the plurality of destination tools by traversing the plurality of destination subgraphs in the graph database and invoking application programming interfaces (APIs) for each of the plurality of destination tools in the destination subgraphs in the graph database.
