Abstract
In one implementation, a device may detect a drop in an amount of agents reporting network measurements for a network component; identify, based on network measurements from before and at a time of the drop, a network component set associated with the drop; generate, based on the network component set, a pseudo-measurement to represent absent data associated with the drop; and provide the pseudo-measurement as an input for root cause analysis.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- detecting, by a device, a drop in an amount of agents reporting network measurements for a network component;
- identifying, by the device and based on network measurements from before and at a time of the drop, a network component set associated with the drop;
- generating, by the device and based on the network component set, a pseudo-measurement to represent absent data associated with the drop;
- and
- providing, by the device, the pseudo-measurement as an input for root cause analysis.
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:
- detect a drop in an amount of agents reporting network measurements for a network component;
- identify, based on network measurements from before and at a time of the drop, a network component set associated with the drop;
- generate, based on the network component set, a pseudo-measurement to represent absent data associated with the drop;
- and
- provide the pseudo-measurement as an input for root cause analysis.
A tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing program instructions that cause a device to execute a process comprising:
- detecting a drop in an amount of agents reporting network measurements for a network component;
- identifying, based on network measurements from before and at a time of the drop, a network component set associated with the drop;
- generating, based on the network component set, a pseudo-measurement to represent absent data associated with the drop;
- and
- providing the pseudo-measurement as an input for root cause analysis.
