Abstract

Systems and methods that facilitate operational support for network infrastructures are discussed. The disclosed system and method facilitate a unified view of the current state of the network and networked devices including real-time log monitoring and for providing metrics for long term system planning. One such method can include the acts of automatically discovering a device deployed on a network, receiving device and network related data in real-time, determining whether a device is authorized, terminating device network access, filtering device data, validating device configuration, configuring a device and providing an output for use by a user. The disclosed system and method can be utilized, for example, to reduce the time involved in troubleshooting and resolving network issues, for establishing a baseline for network performance and for network capacity planning.

Claims13

Dependent claims

A system, comprising:

a processor coupled to a memory that stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
create one or more evolving data structures based on stored data from input of observed source data, wherein the observed source data is associated with operation of a network;
generate one or more observed views of a network environment based on the stored data from the one or more evolving data structures;
produce a map of the network environment based on the stored data from the one or more evolving data structures;
wherein producing the map comprises producing at least one of a security data structure map or a system attack surface map, wherein the security data structure map indicates control density and coverage, and the system attack surface map identifies asset risk;
reallocating a workload process based at least in part on a system element characteristic and a velocity change of the system element characteristic that are based at least in part on one of the security data structure map or the system attack surface map;
and
convey, for display on a display device, the one or more observed views and the map of the network environment.
