Abstract
The disclosed technology relates a system is configured to generate a protected configuration for a network device based on network connectivity data for a plurality of devices in a managed network associated with a cloud management system. The system is further configured to receive a configuration change for the managed network, determine that the configuration change is incompatible with the protected configuration, and generate a notification that the configuration change is incompatible with the protected configuration.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving a first configuration change for a network;
- determining whether the first configuration change is compatible with a protected configuration;
- in response to the first configuration change being incompatible with the protected configuration, sending a notification that the first configuration change is incompatible with the protected configuration;
- determining that at least one device of the plurality of devices in the network has lost connectivity;
- identifying a second configuration change implemented;
- determining whether the second configuration change is a cause of the lost connectivity;
- and
- in response to the second configuration change causing the lost connectivity, sending a notification that the second configuration change is the cause of the lost connectivity.
A system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory storing instructions, which when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to:
- receive a first configuration change for a network;
- determine whether the first configuration change is compatible with a protected configuration;
- in response to the first configuration change being incompatible with the protected configuration, send a notification that the first configuration change is incompatible with the protected configuration;
- determine that at least one device of the plurality of devices in the network has lost connectivity;
- identify a second configuration change implemented;
- determine whether the second configuration change is a cause of the lost connectivity;
- and
- in response to the second configuration change causing the lost connectivity, send a notification that the second configuration change is the cause of the lost connectivity.
At least one non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, which when executed by at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to:
- receive a first configuration change for the network;
- determine whether the first configuration change is compatible with a protected configuration;
- in response to the first configuration change being incompatible with the protected configuration, send a notification that the first configuration change is incompatible with the protected configuration;
- determine that at least one device of the plurality of devices in the network has lost connectivity;
- identify a second configuration change implemented;
- determine whether the second configuration change is a cause of the lost connectivity;
- and
- in response to the second configuration change causing the lost connectivity, send a notification that the second configuration change is the cause of the lost connectivity.
