Determining Overall Network Health and Stability

摘要

A network health analyzer that analyzes health of a computer network may be implemented in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. A network profile comprising an issue profile and one or more benchmarks appropriate for the network is determined. A set of numeric measures that is common to all issues in the issue profile is established. The network health analyzer collects data points pertaining to the operation of the network. Based on the data points, numeric values corresponding to the numeric measures may be calculated. In turn, health indexes for all issues in the issue profile may be determined. Based on these health indexes for the issues, an overall health rating may be determined.
