Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: retrieving, by a lookup performed by a process engine comprising one or more processors and from a cloud service registry connected to the process engine, application programming interfaces (APIs) and connections associated with one or more cloud computing applications provided by a cloud computing server connected to the process engine, the cloud computing server comprising a snapshot framework that includes at least one processor; retrieving, by the process engine from the snapshot framework of the cloud computing server, a snapshot of distributed data associated with the one or more cloud computing applications based on the APIs and connections retrieved; mapping, by the process engine, the distributed data in the snapshot to a client-specific representation and data format; and converting, by the process engine, the distributed data in the snapshot to the client-specific representation and data format; generating, by the process engine, metadata representative of the converted data in the client-specific representation and data format; and generating, by the process engine a visualization of the distributed data in the snapshot in the client-specific representation and data format based on the metadata.
