Method and system for monitoring conditions in a dynamic network environment

A system for monitoring network conditions, the system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a computer readable storage device, the computer readable storage device including computer code which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to implement a software development module to at least:
• compile a first condition definition to generate a first data plane component, a first control plane component, and an activation component, the first condition definition describing a first network condition to be monitored in a network and an activation definition;
• deploy the first data plane component into a data plane of the network, wherein the first data plane component captures a first stream of network events as described in the first condition definition, and the first data plane component synthesizes the first stream of network events to generate a first modified stream of network events;
• deploy the first control plane component into a control plane of the network, wherein the first control plane component receives the first modified stream of network events and correlates the first modified stream of network events into a correlated stream of events;
• and
• deploy the activation component, wherein the activation component, upon receiving the correlated stream of events, initiates the activation definition.

A computer program product for monitoring network conditions, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage device comprising computer code which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to implement a software development module to at least:

• compile a first condition definition to generate a first data plane component, a first control plane component, and an activation component, the first condition definition describing a first network condition to be monitored in a network and an activation definition;
