Applications and Databases Targets
Applications and Databases targets support domains of particular application servers that are controlled by management servers. For such managed domains you will add the management server as a target, and Turbonomic will discover the managed application servers.
As it manages your applications environment, Turbonomic discovers connected application components to stitch them into a supply chain of entities. For connections that are made by name and not IP address, Turbonomic makes DNS calls to resolve these names to IP addresses. This can happen during repeated discovery cycles.
Supply Chain
Applications and Databases targets add Business Application, Business Transaction, Service, Application Component, Application Server, and Database Server entities to the supply chain. You can navigate to the associated target page to see how these entities map to the target nomenclature.
