Abstract

During operation, a computer may compare values of at least one performance metric for access points in appropriate contexts to determine one or more temporal anomalies and/or one or more spatial anomalies for one or more of the access points. Then, the computer may generate one or more temporal anomaly events based at least in part on the one or more temporal anomalies and one or more spatial anomaly events based at least in part on the one or more spatial anomalies. Next, the computer may calculate one or more complex events based at least in part on two or more of the different anomalies. Moreover, the computer may evaluate the different anomalies, anomaly event and/or complex events to determine one or more insights about a problem in the network. Furthermore, the computer may perform a remedial action.

Dependent claims

A computer, comprising:

an interface circuit configured to communicate with access points in a network;
a processor coupled to the interface circuit;
and
memory, coupled to the processor, which stores program instructions, wherein, when executed by the processor, the program instructions cause the computer to perform operations comprising:
monitoring values of at least one performance metric associated with packet communication associated with the access points;
comparing the values of at least the one performance metric for the access points in multiple temporal contexts with historical values of at least the one performance metric to determine one or more temporal anomalies for one or more of the access points;
comparing the values of at least the one performance metric for the access points having a spatial context to determine one or more spatial anomalies for one or more of the access points;
generating one or more temporal anomaly events based at least in part on the one or more temporal anomalies;
generating one or more spatial anomaly events based at least in part on the one or more spatial anomalies;
calculating one or more complex events based at least in part on two or more of the one or more temporal anomalies and the one or more spatial anomalies;
evaluating the one or more temporal anomaly events, the one or more spatial anomaly events, and the one or more complex events to determine one or more insights about a problem in the network;
and
performing a remedial action associated with the problem based at least in part on the one or more insights.
