Abstract:
An application awareness system for a virtualized infrastructure. The application awareness system may use commands in standardized protocols to obtain data from virtual entities in the virtualized infrastructure. The data may be processed to indicate applications on specific virtual entities. The application awareness system may interact with those applications to gain information about the configuration of the application, or for a distributed application, components of the application on each of the plurality of virtual entities. These techniques may be applied to both virtual machines and containers, generating data that may be used in any of multiple management functions performed on the virtual infrastructure, such as backup, monitoring and resource allocation.

Claim (Index 1):
A system for gathering information from a distributed computer system implementing a virtual infrastructure, the virtual infrastructure comprising a plurality of virtual entities, and the system comprising:\n a network interface; a memory; at least one processor operatively connected to the network interface and the memory; and a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer executable instructions, that, when executed by the at least one processor, implement:\n an application discovery component configured to:\n transmit, via the network interface, a first set of program instructions to a virtual entity of the plurality of virtual entities, wherein the first set of program instructions, when executed by the virtual entity, collect information associated with an application; \n receive, from the virtual entity, a first set of data based on execution of the first set of program instructions; and \n determine, from the first set of data, if the application is installed on the virtual entity; \n \n an application probe associated with the application, the application probe configured to:\n transmit a second set of program instructions to the virtual entity; \n receive, from the virtual entity, a second set data based on execution of the second set of program instructions; \n determine, from the second set of data, a configuration of the application; and \n output information specifying the configuration to a virtual infrastructure management system.
