    • The Service Mapping workspace provides a central location to streamline the process of mapping your application services. Use the visualizations and reports to analyze, monitor, and update your resources, create application services, and manage your service mapping tasks efficiently.

    Access

    Navigate to Workspaces > Service Mapping.

    Key features and capabilities

    • Machine Learning (ML) readiness - Confirm that your Machine Learning environment is prepared before you start to map application services.
    • Detailed service maps - Drill down for detailed information on service maps across various categories.
    • Automated Service Suggestions - Leverage Automated Service Suggestions to evaluate suggested application service candidates, using them to create application services or enhance existing ones.
    • Improved resource utilization - Use unmapped servers linked to an application service candidate to create application services.
    • Tag-based service mapping - Use the Tag-based mapping dashboard to map your organization's configuration items (CIs) into application services.
    Important:

    Access to tag-based service mapping in the Service Mapping workspace requires the installation of Service Mapping Plus version 1.16.3. For more information, see Install Service Mapping Plus.

    Service Configuration Item Association [svc_ci_assoc]

    Application service candidate [sa_ml_application_service_candidate]

    A bar report that presents unmapped servers that have been matched to an application service candidate as well as those servers with no candidate.

    Select Unmapped servers with candidate to view servers you can use to create an application service. For more information, see Create an application service for unmapped servers.

    Additional components

    Populate data
    You can select this button to refresh the page and update the displayed information to reflect the most recent data.
    Search for server
    You can locate a specific server using this field by entering the server name to see a list of options. Selecting the server you want from the list, and then Search, takes you to the Mapped Server page. Select the server name for more detailed information.

    Tag-based service mapping

    Select the Tag-based service mapping icon to access the Tag-based service mapping dashboard. Here you can categorize and map your organizaton's on-prem and cloud resources into application services. For more information, see Tag-based mapping in the Service Mapping Workspace.

    Application service readiness dashboard
