Application Maps

Visualize and manage your application dependencies and service relationships in chaos engineering

An application map groups several services into one logical application so you can visualize related targets together.

A service represents a single target. An application map represents the thing your users actually depend on, which is usually several services working together.

NOT PART OF SERVICE ONBOARDING

Application maps are a separate Insights feature. They are not created by the Resilience Testing service onboarding wizard, and application-level resilience scoring across a map is not available in this release.

Before you begin

• Service discovery

• Automated service onboarding

• Services

• Create Discovery Agent

• What is Application Map?

Review your application maps

Go to Resilience Testing → Insights → Application Maps to open the list. Each row names the map and the infrastructure it belongs to.

Column	What it shows
Application map	The map name, with the infrastructure it was built from beneath it.
Services	How many services the map groups.
Experiments	How many chaos experiments target the map.
Avg resilience	The average resilience score across the map. A map with no completed runs shows a dash.
Resilience coverage	How much of the map your experiments actually exercise.
Last chaos activity	The most recent experiment run against the map, or No executions yet.

A map with services but no experiments is grouped but untested, and a map with experiments but low coverage is only partly tested. Both read as gaps rather than results.

Create Application Map

Go to create an application map and follow the steps, except, navigate to the Resilience Testing module, and select Project Settings, and then select Discovery.

NOTE

Alternatively, navigate to Resilience Testing -> Insights -> Application Maps -> Manage Discovery in Project Settings. This also leads you to the page in step 2.

In the step where you select one or more discovered services, choose a specific service on which you want to inject chaos, and click Next.

NOTE

• To view chaos-enabled experiment map, navigate to the Resilience Testing module and select Insights -> Application Maps.

  
• To manually associate the experiment as a part of an application map, specify the tag applicationmap=<application map identity> in the experiment.

Next Steps

• Edit Application Map

• Delete Application Map

• Services: Onboard the services you want to group into a map.
