Centralized application resource determination based on performance metrics
In one example, an application monitoring server may include a metric parser to receive performance metrics associated with an endpoint. Example performance metrics may be in a source format. Further, the metric parser may parse the received performance metrics. Furthermore, the application monitoring server may include a resource extractor to apply a transformation definition to the parsed performance metrics to determine a plurality of resources in a destination format. Example plurality of resources may be associated with an application being executed in the endpoint. Further, the resource extractor may present information associated with the plurality of resources on a graphical user interface.
