C2C in Unified Asset Inventory

The Unified Asset Inventory (UAI) is the data foundation the other surfaces are built on. Each asset's lineage values are stored in the UAI. Every other C2C surface (such as Coverage dashboard and Code-to-Cloud tab) reads from those stored values. Use the UAI when you need to move from an aggregate coverage gap to the exact list of affected assets.

For detailed rules on lineage tracing, filter behavior, and valid filter values, see Reference A: Lineage filtering matrix, Reference B: Essential filtering rules, and Reference C: Technical background.

Quick start: Step-by-step lineage workflows

Use these step-by-step instructions to perform lineage tracing in the console.

Workflow A: Forward Code-to-Cloud tracing (Code asset to Runtime)

Follow these steps to find which of your code-side assets have successfully built, deployed, or run in the cloud:

1. Navigate to the inventory: Go to Inventory → All Assets.
2. Filter for code assets with a verified path to Runtime:

   1. Add the Category filter and select a supported code asset, such as Repository or IaC Resource.
   2. Add the Class filter and set it to Code (Class = Code).
   3. Add the Development Cycle Stages filter with the operator Contains and the value RUNTIME.
3. Investigate the forward lineage graph: Select the target asset row from the filtered list. Then click the Code to Cloud tab on the asset details side panel.

Workflow B: Backward Cloud-to-Code tracing (Runtime asset to Code)

Follow these steps to trace running production workloads back to their originating source code:

1. Navigate to the inventory: Go to Inventory → All Assets.
2. Filter for runtime assets with a verified path to Code:

   1. Add the Category filter and select a runtime asset, such as VM instance or Container Image.
   2. Add the Class filter and set it to Compute (Class = Compute).
   3. Add the Development Cycle Stages filter with the operator Contains and the value CODE.
3. Investigate the backward lineage graph: Select the workload row from the filtered list. Then click the Code to Cloud tab on the asset details side panel.
