Composite key performance indicators for network health monitoring

An apparatus comprising:

• a network interface configured to communicate with a network of computing devices;
• and
• a processor configured to:
• obtain via the network interface, a plurality of performance attributes from a computing device in the network of computing devices;
• generate a composite indicator associated with the computing device and defined by a combination of at least two performance attributes of the plurality of performance attributes;
• monitor the composite indicator;
• responsive to a determination that the composite indicator indicates an alert condition, generate an alert associated with the computing device;
• determine if the alert condition is subject to remediation;
• and
• responsive to a determination that the alert condition is subject to remediation, cause the computing device to execute at least one command to provide remediation of the alert condition.

A method for monitoring a health of a network of computing devices, the method comprising:

• obtaining a plurality of performance attributes from a plurality of computing devices in the network of computing devices;
• generating a composite indicator associated with at least two associated computing devices of the plurality of computing devices and defined by a combination of at least two performance attributes of the at least two associated computing devices;
• monitoring the composite indicator;
• responsive to a determination that the composite indicator indicates an alert condition, generating an alert associated with the at least two associated computing devices;
• determining if the alert condition is subject to remediation;
• and
• responsive to a determination that the alert condition is subject to remediation, causing at least one of the at least two associated computing devices to execute at least one command to provide remediation of the alert condition.
