Network-based mining approach to root cause impactful timeseries motifs

An apparatus, comprising:

• one or more network interfaces;
• a processor coupled to the one or more network interfaces and configured to execute one or more processes;
• and
• a memory configured to store a process that is executable by the processor, the process when executed configured to:
• identify a timeseries motif present in a plurality of timeseries of performance metrics for a plurality of paths in a network;
• retrieve, based on the timeseries motif, device-level telemetry data from networking devices along the plurality of paths;
• determine a root cause of the timeseries motif by correlating the timeseries motif with the device-level telemetry data;
• and
• provide an indication of the timeseries motif and its root cause for display by a user interface.

A tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing program instructions that cause a device to execute a process comprising:

• identifying, by the device, a timeseries motif present in a plurality of timeseries of performance metrics for a plurality of paths in a network;
• retrieving, by the device and based on the timeseries motif, device-level telemetry data from networking devices along the plurality of paths;
• determining, by the device, a root cause of the timeseries motif by correlating the timeseries motif with the device-level telemetry data;
• and
• providing, by the device, an indication of the timeseries motif and its root cause for display by a user interface.
