Orphan Services

What are Orphan Services?

Services discovered in your telemetry but not mapped to any infrastructure:

  • Services without matching host_name
  • Services from external systems
  • Services in different regions
  • Manually instrumented services

Why Map Them?

Mapping orphan services:

  • Completes your topology view
  • Enables infrastructure-level filtering
  • Shows complete dependency graph
  • Improves resource attribution
