Patent attributes
Systems that determine relationships between network components of a cluster using packet filters are disclosed. A system can identify objects that implement services of a cluster and network connections associated with respective pairs of the objects. The system can also filter out network connections from the identified network connections. The filtering can remove connections between source objects and destination objects based on the destination objects lacking any components that implement a service in cluster. The filtering can also retain network connections between source objects and destination objects based on the source objects including components that each implement at least one service, and based on the second destination object including components that each implement at least one service. Additionally, the system can generate relationship maps and network topologies using the determined relationships.
