    Abstract: Disclosed is a network management system that provides an interface to enable diagnostics and troubleshoot of a remotely managed multi-site network. Some embodiments provide a natural language interface, while other embodiments provide a chatbot type interface that communicates with a technician via traditional text information on a display screen. The diagnostic and troubleshooting capabilities search a central data store that receives device property information from each site of the multi-site network. Based on devices or users that match portions of the entity, queries to the data store are initiated to obtain additional data on the devices. A response to the query is then provided based on the properties of the devices.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for monitoring network performance and managing network faults in a computer network. A cloud-based network management system stores path data received from a plurality of network devices operating as network gateways for an enterprise network, the path data collected by each network device of the plurality of network devices for one or more logical paths of a physical interface from the network device over a wide area network (WAN). The network management system determines, based on the path data, one or more WAN link health assessments, wherein the one or more WAN link health assessments include a success or failure state associated with one or more of service provider reachability, physical interface operation, or logical path performance; and in response to determining the at least one failure state, outputs a notification including identification of a root cause of the at least one failure state.

    Abstract: Systems, devices and techniques for an adaptive application-specific probing scheme are disclosed. An example network device includes memory configured to store a network address and probe protocol usable for probing a first network device associated with a source of an application, and one or more processors configured to determine a network address and probe protocol usable for probing the first network device, wherein the first network device comprises a server that is responsive to the probing, the server executing the application for the data flow, or a closest network device, to the server, that is responsive to the probing. The one or more processors are also configured to send to a second network device at a location serviced by the application, a message specifying the network address and probe protocol usable for probing the first network device.

    Abstract: An example system includes access point (AP) devices configured to provide a wireless network at a site; and a network management system that stores network data received from the AP devices, the network data collected by the AP devices or client devices associated with the wireless network, and one or more processors configured to: receive a time series of SLE metrics based on the network data, determine, based on the time series, whether a network event has occurred, in response to a determination that a network event has occurred, determine a root cause for the network event, and in response to a determination that the root cause of the network event is associated with an AP device, determine a classification of the AP device, and determine a network management action for the AP device based on the network event and the classification of the AP device.

    Abstract: Disclosed are methods for detecting misconfigured VLANs. In some embodiments, traffic on a VLAN across multiple access points is categorized. Traffic on the VLAN at a single access point is then also categorized. The categorization of the VLAN traffic at the single access point can be in response to, for example, communication errors or other conditions. The two categorizations are then compared to determine if the VLAN traffic at the AP is consistent with the VLAN traffic across a network (e.g., an enterprise network). If the VLAN traffic at the AP is generally consistent with that across the network, this may indicate that a downstream network component, such as a switch or router, is misconfigured. Thus, some embodiments programmatically reconfigure the downstream component to forward traffic for the VLAN.

    Abstract: An example method includes receiving, by a software-defined networking in a wide area network (SD-WAN) system having a first WAN link and a second WAN link for an SD-WAN service, WAN link characterization data for the first WAN link over a time period; determining, by the SD-WAN system based on processing the WAN link characterization data for the first WAN link using a machine learning model trained with historical WAN link characterization data for one or more WAN links, an indicator of a predicted performance metric of the first WAN link at a future time; and reassigning, by the SD-WAN system based on the indicator, an application from the first WAN link to the second WAN link.
