Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method, the computer-implemented method to connect information technology (IT) tools to provide a unified view of an IT system, the computer-implemented method comprising:
storing, using a processing unit, 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;
transforming, using the processing unit, each of the plurality of source subgraphs in the graph database 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;
storing, using the processing unit, the plurality of destination subgraphs in the graph database;
delivering, using the processing unit, the topology 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; and
generating and outputting, using the processing unit, a graph visualization of the topology for each of the plurality of destination tools to provide the unified view of the IT system.
