AWS Application Discovery Service
AWS Application Discovery Service helps you plan application migration projects by automatically identifying servers, virtual machines (VMs), software, and software dependencies running in your on-premises data centers. Application Discovery Service also collects application performance data, which can help you assess the outcome of your migration. The data collected by Application Discovery Service is securely retained in an Amazon-hosted and managed database in the cloud. You can export the data as a CSV or XML file into your preferred visualization tool or cloud-migration solution to plan your migration. For more information, see the Application Discovery Service FAQ.
Application Discovery Service offers two modes of operation.
- **Agentless discovery** mode is recommended for environments that use VMware vCenter Server. This mode doesn't require you to install an agent on each host. Agentless discovery gathers server information regardless of the operating systems, which minimizes the time required for initial on-premises infrastructure assessment. Agentless discovery doesn't collect information about software and software dependencies. It also doesn't work in non-VMware environments. We recommend that you use agent-based discovery for non-VMware environments and if you want to collect information about software and software dependencies. You can also run agent-based and agentless discovery simultaneously. Use agentless discovery to quickly complete the initial infrastructure assessment and then install agents on select hosts to gather information about software and software dependencies.
- **Agent-based discovery** mode collects a richer set of data than agentless discovery by using Amazon software, the AWS Application Discovery Agent, which you install on one or more hosts in your data center. The agent captures infrastructure and application information, including an inventory of installed software applications, system and process performance, resource utilization, and network dependencies between workloads. The information collected by agents is secured at rest and in transit to the Application Discovery Service database in the cloud.

Functions
Returns a map containing the input/output shapes for this endpoint
Outputs values common to all actions
Associates one or more configuration items with an application
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 the Connector by ID or lists all agents/Connectors associated with your user account if you did not specify an ID
Retrieves attributes for a list of configuration item IDs. All of the supplied IDs must be for the same asset type (server, application, process, or connection). Output fields are specific to the asset type selected. For example, the output for a server configuration item includes a list of attributes about the server, such as host name, operating system, and number of network cards
Deprecated. Use DescribeExportTasks
instead
Retrieve status of one or more export tasks. You can retrieve the status of up to 100 export tasks
Retrieves a list of configuration items that are tagged with a specific tag. Or retrieves a list of all tags assigned to a specific configuration item
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 according to criteria that you specify in a filter. The filter criteria identifies the relationship requirements
Retrieves a list of servers that are one network hop away from a specified server
Instructs the specified agents or connectors to start collecting data
Begins the export of discovered data to an S3 bucket
Instructs the specified agents or connectors to stop collecting data
Updates metadata about an application

For a complete list of outputs for each asset type, see Using the DescribeConfigurations Action.
Deprecated. Use DescribeExportTasks
instead.
Retrieves the status of a given export process. You can retrieve status from a maximum of 100 processes.
Retrieve status of one or more export tasks. You can retrieve the status of up to 100 export tasks.
Retrieves a list of configuration items that are tagged with a specific tag. Or retrieves a list of all tags assigned to a specific configuration item.
Disassociates one or more configuration items from an application.
Deprecated. Use StartExportTask
instead.
Exports all discovered configuration data to an Amazon S3 bucket or an application that enables you to view and evaluate the data. Data includes tags and tag associations, processes, connections, servers, and system performance. This API returns an export ID that you can query using the DescribeExportConfigurations API. The system imposes a limit of two configuration exports in six hours.
Retrieves a short summary of discovered assets.
Retrieves a list of configuration items according to criteria that you specify in a filter. The filter criteria identifies the relationship requirements.
Retrieves a list of servers that are one network hop away from a specified server.
Instructs the specified agents or connectors to start collecting data.
Begins the export of discovered data to an S3 bucket.
If you specify agentId
in a filter, the task exports up to 72 hours of
detailed data collected by the identified Application Discovery Agent,
including network, process, and performance details. A time range for
exported agent data may be set by using startTime
and endTime
. Export
of detailed agent data is limited to five concurrently running exports.
If you do not include an agentId
filter, summary data is exported that
includes both AWS Agentless Discovery Connector data and summary data from
AWS Discovery Agents. Export of summary data is limited to two exports per
day.
Instructs the specified agents or connectors to stop collecting data.
Updates metadata about an application.
