System and method to measure and score application health via correctable errors

A system in a network, the system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more memories storing instructions, which when executed by the one or more processors cause the system to:
• identify network traffic from a source network device traversing a network path of the network to a destination network device, wherein the network traffic is associated with an application connected to the network;
• detect an error associated with the network traffic;
• based on the error, increment a counter associated with the application;
• determine an application score based at least in part on the counter;
• telemeter the application score;
• monitoring one or more trends in the application score;
• and
• based on the monitoring, predicting a health of the network path.

One or more non-transitory computer readable mediums storing instructions, which when executed by one or more processors cause a system of a network to:

• identify network traffic from a source network device traversing a network path of the network to a destination network device, wherein the network traffic is associated with an application connected to the network;
• detect an error associated with the network traffic;
• based on the error, increment a counter associated with the application;
• determine an application score based at least in part on the counter;
• telemeter the application score;
• monitoring one or more trends in the application score;
• and
• based on the monitoring, predicting a health of the network path.
