[Hawkular-dev] Business app/services representation in Inventory

[Gary Brown]

Hi

Before going too far down the BTM road, I just wanted to confirm whether or not we want the business app, their components services, and their relationships to IT resources they use, stored in Hawkular Inventory?

An alternative approach would be to derive the structure and relationships dynamically from the business transaction instance information.

The benefit of storing in Inventory is it enables end users to navigate through the inventory to understand the relationships to the business apps/services, as well as allow other tooling (e.g. impact analysis) to determine the effect of IT resource downtime on business apps.

Thoughts?

Regards
