Dynamic troubleshooting workspaces for cloud and network management systems

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a computer-readable storage medium having stored therein instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
• collecting network statistics for a network;
• based on the network statistics, presenting a first workspace having a first plurality of interface components, each of the first plurality of interface components representing a respective network context associated with at least a network device and a network event, each of the first plurality of interface components comprising a first set of objects associated with the respective network context;
• dynamically associating selected interface components from the first plurality of interface components to yield associated interface components and an indication of a relationship between the associated interface components, the indication triggering a second workspace based on the relationship;
• and
• in response to the triggering of the second workspace, dynamically presenting the second workspace having a second plurality of interface components, the second plurality of interface components selected based on the associated interface components, each of the second plurality of interface components representing a different respective network context related to the associated interface components, and each of the second plurality of interface components comprising a second set of objects associated with the different respective network context,
• wherein
• the indication is a link extending between the associated interface components from the second plurality of interface components, and
• the first plurality of interface components and the second plurality of interface components comprise tiles.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• collecting network statistics for a network;
• based on the network statistics, presenting a first workspace having a first plurality of interface components, each of the first plurality of interface components representing at least a network device and a network event, each of the first plurality of interface components comprising a first set of objects associated with the network device and the network event;
• connecting selected interface components from the first plurality of interface components to yield connected interface components via an indication of a relationship between the connected interface components, the indication triggering a second workspace based on the relationship;
• and
• in response to the triggering of the second workspace, dynamically presenting the second workspace having a second plurality of interface components, the second plurality of interface components, each of the second plurality of interface components representing one or more network services associated with the connected interface components, one or more network devices associated with the connected interface components, one or more network events associated with the connected interface components, and one or more appliances associated with the connected interface components,
• wherein
• the indication is a link extending between the connected interface components from the second plurality of interface components, and
• the first plurality of interface components and the second plurality of interface components comprise tiles.
