15. A method for modeling topic-based message-oriented middleware (MoM), the method comprising:
connecting, by a cloud connector, with a MoM system;
converting, by the cloud connector, information associated with the MoM system into a standardized object model, wherein the standardized object model includes:
a topic-based node associated with a topic of the MoM system;
at least one producer application, the at least one producer application providing one or more messages to the topic-based node, the one or more messages being related to the topic and generated by one or more producers associated with the at least one producer application; and
at least one consumer application, the at least one consumer application receiving the one or more messages from the topic-based node, the one or more messages being consumed by one or more consumers associated with the at least one consumer application;
generating, by a graphical unit, a standardized graph of relationships between the one or more producers and the one or more consumers over a period of time;
creating, by a policy compute engine, a policy;
periodically analyzing, by the policy compute engine, the standardized graph for at least one deviation from the policy; and
in response to detecting the at least one deviation, issuing, by the policy compute engine, an alert.
