Methods, systems and computer readable media for triggering on-demand dynamic activation of cloud-based network visibility tools

Abstract:

The subject matter described herein relates to methods, systems, and computer readable media for triggering dynamic, on-demand activation of cloud-based network visibility tools. One method includes steps that occur in a network visibility platform including at least one processor. The method further includes classifying, using a classifier implemented by the at least one processor, packets or network metadata into groups of related packets or network metadata. The method further includes generating, using an event notification generator implemented by the at least one processor, event notifications based on the groups of related packets or network metadata classified by the classifier. The method further includes communicating, by the event notification generator, the event notifications to a cloud network for triggering dynamic on-demand activation of at least one cloud-based network visibility tool to process the groups of related packets or network metadata classified by the classifier.
