Abstract
Systems, methods, and related technologies for device monitoring are described. In certain aspects, network traffic data is analyzed to determine one or more devices associated with a network. The network may be a remote network. The network traffic data may further be used to determine one or more non-active devices associated with the network.
Claims17
A method comprising:
- receiving, at a first time interval, device data associated with one or more devices coupled to a first network, wherein the device data comprises data of one or more active devices coupled to the first network;
- receiving, at a second time interval, network traffic data associated with the first network at a device coupled to a second network, wherein the first time interval and the second time interval are independent;
- determining, by a processing device, based on the network traffic data associated with the first network, one or more devices coupled to the first network during the second time interval that were not identified as active devices by the device data at the first time interval;
- and
- storing information comprising first data associated with the one or more devices coupled to the first network and a second data associated with the one or more devices coupled to the first network during the second time interval that were not identified as active devices by the device data at the first time interval.

A system comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processing device, operatively coupled to the memory, to:
- receive, at a first time interval, device data associated with one or more devices coupled to a first network, wherein the device data comprises data of one or more active devices coupled to the first network;
- receive, at a second time interval, network traffic data associated with the first network;
- determine, based on the network traffic data associated with the first network, one or more devices coupled to the first network, wherein the first time interval and the second time interval are independent;
- determine, based on the network traffic data and the device data, one or more non-active devices associated with the first network during the second time interval that were not identified as active devices by the device data during the first time interval;
- and
- store information comprising first data associated with the one or more devices coupled to the first network and a second data associated with the one or more non-active devices coupled to the first network during the second time interval that were not identified as active devices by the device data at the first time interval.
6 more elements
A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions encoded thereon that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to:
- request, at a first time interval, device data associated with one or more devices coupled to a first network;
- send, at a second time interval, a request for network traffic data to a remote network, wherein the first time interval and the second time interval are independent;
- receive the network traffic data;
- determine a set of one or more devices associated with the remote network based on the network traffic data, wherein the set of one or more devices comprises one or more active devices associated with the remote network and one or more devices associated with the remote network during the second time interval that were not identified as active devices by the device data at the first time interval;
- and
- store information comprising first data associated with the one or more devices coupled to the first network and a second data associated with the one or more devices coupled to the first network during the second time interval that were not identified as active devices by the device data at the first time interval.
