US Patent 10108411 Systems and methods of constructing a network topology

The technology disclosed relates to sub-clustering within service clusters in real-time. In particular, it relates to accessing a network topology that records node data and connection data including processes running on numerous hosts grouped into local services on the hosts, the local services running on multiple hosts grouped into service clusters and sub-clusters of service clusters, and network connections used by the service clusters to connect the hosts grouped into service connections, wherein the node data includes software versions of the processes and process data with configuration files and clustering the multiple hosts with the service clusters into the sub-clusters based at least in part on the software versions.
