Amazon Web Services Application Discovery Service
Amazon Web Services Application Discovery Service (Application Discovery Service) helps you plan application migration projects. It automatically identifies servers, virtual machines (VMs), and network dependencies in your on-premises data centers. For more information, see the Amazon Web Services Application Discovery Service FAQ.
Application Discovery Service offers three ways of performing discovery and collecting data about your on-premises servers:
Agentless discovery using Amazon Web Services Application Discovery Service Agentless Collector (Agentless Collector), which doesn't require you to install an agent on each host.
Agentless Collector gathers server information regardless of the operating systems, which minimizes the time required for initial on-premises infrastructure assessment.
Agentless Collector doesn't collect information about network dependencies, only agent-based discovery collects that information.
Agent-based discovery using the Amazon Web Services Application Discovery Agent (Application Discovery Agent) collects a richer set of data than agentless discovery, which you install on one or more hosts in your data center.
The agent captures infrastructure and application information, including an inventory of running processes, system performance information, resource utilization, and network dependencies.
The information collected by agents is secured at rest and in transit to the Application Discovery Service database in the Amazon Web Services cloud. For more information, see Amazon Web Services Application Discovery Agent.
Amazon Web Services Partner Network (APN) solutions integrate with Application Discovery Service, enabling you to import details of your on-premises environment directly into Amazon Web Services Migration Hub (Migration Hub) without using Agentless Collector or Application Discovery Agent.
Third-party application discovery tools can query Amazon Web Services Application Discovery Service, and they can write to the Application Discovery Service database using the public API.
In this way, you can import data into Migration Hub and view it, so that you can associate applications with servers and track migrations.
Working With This Guide
This API reference provides descriptions, syntax, and usage examples for each of the actions and data types for Application Discovery Service. The topic for each action shows the API request parameters and the response. Alternatively, you can use one of the Amazon Web Services SDKs to access an API that is tailored to the programming language or platform that you're using. For more information, see Amazon Web Services SDKs.
Remember that you must set your Migration Hub home Region before you call any of these APIs.
You must make API calls for write actions (create, notify, associate, disassociate, import, or put) while in your home Region, or a
HomeRegionNotSetException
error is returned.API calls for read actions (list, describe, stop, and delete) are permitted outside of your home Region.
Although it is unlikely, the Migration Hub home Region could change. If you call APIs outside the home Region, an
InvalidInputException
is returned.You must call
GetHomeRegion
to obtain the latest Migration Hub home Region. This guide is intended for use with the Amazon Web Services Application Discovery Service User Guide.
All data is handled according to the Amazon Web Services Privacy Policy. You can operate Application Discovery Service offline to inspect collected data before it is shared with the service.
Functions
Associates one or more configuration items with an application.
Deletes one or more agents or collectors as specified by ID. Deleting an agent or collector does not delete the previously discovered data. To delete the data collected, use StartBatchDeleteConfigurationTask
.
Deletes one or more import tasks, each identified by their import ID. Each import task has a number of records that can identify servers or applications.
Creates an application with the given name and description.
Creates one or more tags for configuration items. Tags are metadata that help you categorize IT assets. This API accepts a list of multiple configuration items.
Deletes a list of applications and their associations with configuration items.
Deletes the association between configuration items and one or more tags. This API accepts a list of multiple configuration items.
Lists agents or collectors as specified by ID or other filters. All agents/collectors associated with your user can be listed if you call DescribeAgents
as is without passing any parameters.
Takes a unique deletion task identifier as input and returns metadata about a configuration deletion task.
Retrieves attributes for a list of configuration item IDs.
Lists exports as specified by ID. All continuous exports associated with your user can be listed if you call DescribeContinuousExports
as is without passing any parameters.
DescribeExportConfigurations
is deprecated. Use DescribeExportTasks, instead.
Retrieve status of one or more export tasks. You can retrieve the status of up to 100 export tasks.
Returns an array of import tasks for your account, including status information, times, IDs, the Amazon S3 Object URL for the import file, and more.
Retrieves a list of configuration items that have tags as specified by the key-value pairs, name and value, passed to the optional parameter filters
.
Disassociates one or more configuration items from an application.
Deprecated. Use StartExportTask
instead.
Retrieves a short summary of discovered assets.
Retrieves a list of configuration items as specified by the value passed to the required parameter configurationType
. Optional filtering may be applied to refine search results.
Retrieves a list of servers that are one network hop away from a specified server.
Takes a list of configurationId as input and starts an asynchronous deletion task to remove the configurationItems. Returns a unique deletion task identifier.
Start the continuous flow of agent's discovered data into Amazon Athena.
Instructs the specified agents to start collecting data.
Begins the export of a discovered data report to an Amazon S3 bucket managed by Amazon Web Services.
Starts an import task, which allows you to import details of your on-premises environment directly into Amazon Web Services Migration Hub without having to use the Amazon Web Services Application Discovery Service (Application Discovery Service) tools such as the Amazon Web Services Application Discovery Service Agentless Collector or Application Discovery Agent. This gives you the option to perform migration assessment and planning directly from your imported data, including the ability to group your devices as applications and track their migration status.
Stop the continuous flow of agent's discovered data into Amazon Athena.
Instructs the specified agents to stop collecting data.
Updates metadata about an application.
