Anomaly detection for a networking device based on monitoring related sets of counters

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a monitoring process identifies a set of counters maintained by a networking device by comparing a configuration of the networking device to an object relationship model. The monitoring process obtains counter values from the identified set of counters maintained by the networking device. The monitoring process detects an anomaly by using the obtained counter values as input to a machine learning-based anomaly detector. The monitoring process generates an anomaly detection alert for the detected anomaly.
