What is Application Discovery

Application discovery software automates the process of identifying the set of applications on individual systems and on groups of systems throughout a network. Application discovery is the first step in a comprehensive regimen of application monitoring and management. With application discovery data as a baseline, administrators can fine-tune the metrics and data they want to monitor to users’ specific needs.
