ANALYZING COMMON TRAITS IN A NETWORK ASSURANCE SYSTEM

摘要

In one embodiment, a network assurance system discretizes parameter values of a plurality of time series of measurements obtained from a monitored network by assigning tags to the parameter values. The network assurance system detects occurrences of a particular type of failure event in the monitored network. The network assurance system identifies a set of the assigned tags that frequently co-occur with the occurrences of the particular type of failure event. The network assurance system determines, using a Bayesian framework, rankings for the tags in the identified set based on how well each of the tags acts as a predictor of the failure event. The network assurance system initiates performance of a corrective measure for the failure event based in part on the determined rankings for the tags in the identified set.
