Dynamic monitoring and visualization for network health characteristics

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions for executing a method performed by a computer processor to dynamically monitor and display network performance of a plurality of network devices in a communications network via an interactive graphical user interface, the method comprising:

• receiving a plurality of collected metrics regarding at least one health characteristic for a plurality of network paths, each network path comprising a first network device at a first terminal end and a second network device at a second terminal end from the plurality of network devices in the communications network;
• applying a first rule set defining at least one threshold to assign an aggregate first classification for each first network device and second network device pair associated with each network path;
• applying a second rule set defining at least one threshold to assign an aggregate second classification for each network device, the aggregate second classification comprising an aggregate classification for each network device pair associated with each network device;
• and
• displaying to a user the aggregate second classification for each network device via a selectable object on an interactive graphical user interface, where one selectable object of the interactive graphical user interface represents an aggregate network performance for a network device based on the collected metrics for the plurality of network paths over a first period of time.

A system for dynamically monitoring and displaying network performance of a plurality of network devices in a communications network via an interactive graphical user interface, the system comprising:

• a network interface;
• one or more data storage devices;
• one or more processors communicably coupled to the network interface and the one or more data storage devices;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with a computer program communicably coupled to the one or more processors to:
• receive a plurality of collected metrics regarding at least one health characteristic for a plurality of network paths, each network path comprising a first network device at a first terminal end and a second network device at a second terminal end from the plurality of network devices in the communications network;
• apply a first rule set defining at least one threshold to assign an aggregate first classification for each first network device and second network device pair associated with each network path;
• apply a second rule set defining at least one threshold to assign an aggregate second classification for each network device, the aggregate second classification comprising an aggregate classification for each network device pair associated with each network device;
• and
• display to a user the aggregate second classification for each network device via a selectable object on an interactive graphical user interface, where one selectable object of the interactive graphical user interface represents an aggregate network performance for a network device based on the collected metrics for the plurality of network paths over a first period of time.
