Application Maps

This topic describes application maps, their significance, and how to create, edit, and delete them.

Before you begin​

What is an Application Map?​

An application map is a resource on the Harness Platform (also known as the control plane) used to bind multiple interacting discovered services into a single object, thereby allowing the users to act (test, monitor, and so on) on a group of services.

Why is an Application Map Required?​

Application maps help:

  • Test and monitor a group of services.
  • Determine the resilience coverage and resilience score for the overall application map and its constituent services.
  • Manage experiments associated with them.
  • Perform trend analysis.

How to Use an Application Map?​

Once you have a list of discovered services, Harness CE creates an application map (using auto-suggestion or manual service selection) based on your requirements. You can refer to the real-time topology view to get the connectivity representation.

You can create, edit, and delete application maps.

Create Application Map​

  1. To create an application map, select Project Settings, and then select Discovery.

  2. Select one of the discovery agents or create a new discovery agent. In this example, select a discovery agent that you created earlier.

  3. Once you select a discovery agent, navigate to the Application Maps tab and select New Application Map.

  4. Specify a name, description (optional), and tags (optional). Select Continue.

  5. Select one or more discovered services that you wish to use and select Next.

  6. Optionally, add service relationship details and select Save Changes.

  7. Select Save.

Edit Application Map​

  1. To edit an application map, select More Options (⋮), then select Edit. Make the necessary changes and select Save.

Delete Application Map​

  1. To delete an application map, select More Options (⋮), then select Delete.

  2. To confirm the deletion, select Delete.
