Network model aware diagnosis of a network

Abstract:

Management of network devices using network aware diagnosis techniques. An example method to monitor a network includes constructing, by a controller device that manages a plurality of network devices, a deployed graph model comprising a plurality of models representative of services operating on the network devices within the network. The method also includes receiving an alert, by the controller device, that a service operating on one of the network devices is experiencing a failure. Additionally, the method includes traversing, by the controller device, modeled dependencies within the deployed graph model to perform root cause analysis of the service that is experiencing the failure to determine a resource-level event causing the failure. The method includes. based on the traversing, providing, by the controller device, a report indicating the root cause of the failure.
