This invention discloses a method, apparatus, device, and storage medium for discovering industrial applications, comprising: adding a registration service to the container
orchestration configuration file corresponding to each industrial application; periodically publishing a registration
heartbeat to the MQQT
bus through the matching registration service when the industrial application starts; receiving the registration
heartbeat on the MQQT
bus through the discovery service, and maintaining the running status of each industrial application based on the registration
heartbeat in a
database, wherein the running status includes online duration. Adding the registration service to the container
orchestration configuration file using container
orchestration features does not affect the containers containing the original services in the container configuration file, thus reducing the
impact on the
original application system; and determining the running status of each industrial application and the online duration in the online state based on the registration heartbeat in the
database provides a quantitative indicator of application stability, providing comprehensive data support for platform maintenance and application evaluation.
