A method is provided for determining command-to-process correspondence. The method includes identifying, by the hardware processor, initial processes resulting from executions of container immutability change events for each of multiple initially mutable containers in a cluster, based on an execution time, a process identifier and a process group identifier for each of the container immutability change events. The method also includes designating, by the hardware processor, a particular external command, from among external container commands stored in a database, as having a correspondence to an initial process, responsive to the initial process matching at least one respective process resulting from executing the particular external command.
