Patent attributes
A centralized application management computing system is described that is configured to generate digital dog tag files for local storage on each computing device of a plurality of computing devices (e.g., data center servers) within the enterprise network. The computing system is configured to periodically retrieve, from one or more sources within the enterprise network, application information for one or more applications hosted on a given computing device of the plurality of computing devices. The computing system is configured to periodically generate, based on the application information, a digital dog tag file for the given computing device that includes recovery information for the one or more applications hosted on the given computing device. The computing system is further configured to send the digital dog tag file for local storage at a predefined location on the given computing device.
