SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING A TOPOLOGY OF AT LEAST ONE APPLICATION IN A COMPUTERIZED ORGANIZATION

Systems and methods for skeleton-based discovery of an application in a computer network are provided. An implementation of the system includes a processor configured to generate a template for an application topology of the application based on a structure determined by an initial discovery, modify the template during a traversing of the template, and generate a display of the template indicating states of the application according to the impact rules. The application topology is multi-tiered and includes nodes associated with elements of the application and dependencies between the nodes. The states include at least one of an actual state or a scenario state.
