Abstract: Provided is a process, including: obtaining a plurality of network-traffic pattern specifications; obtaining network traffic data captured as the network traffic data is leaving from, arriving to, or looping back at a network interface of a computing device; comparing the plurality of network-traffic pattern specifications to the network traffic data; detecting based on the comparing, a match between at least a portion of the network traffic data and a matching network-traffic pattern specification among the plurality of network-traffic pattern specifications; and causing adding or adjusting one or more instances of one or more monitoring agents monitoring the instance of a service based on the detected match and the respective monitoring agent or monitoring agent configuration setting associated with the matching network-traffic pattern specification.

Abstract: Provided is a process including: obtaining, with one or more processors, network-traffic data describing a graph of network traffic among a plurality of hosts of one or more distributed applications executing on a plurality of computing devices between which the network traffic is sent; inferring, with one or more processors, a topology of a first distributed application among the one or more distributed applications based on the network-traffic data; causing, with one or more processors, a visual representation of the topology to be presented in a graphical user interface.
