    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: A network management system (NMS) generates a hierarchical attribution graph representing different scopes at different hierarchical levels of a wide area network (WAN); obtains logical path down data indicative of operational behavior including failure events associated with logical paths of network devices over the WAN; obtains total path data indicative of a historical number of active logical paths between the network devices; and determines a scope of a logical path down issue by, for a time period of the logical path down issue, determining a score for each scope of the different scopes based on the logical path down data aggregated across the respective scope and the total path data, and determining the scope of the logical path down issue as a particular scope of the different scopes having a highest score. The NMS may identify the particular scope as a root cause of the logical path down issue.

    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: A network management system (NMS) is described that includes one or more processors coupled to memory storing network data. The one or more processors are configured to receive a query identifying a site and determine, based on the network data, a first set of troubleshooting issues for a wide area network (WAN) deployment at the site, a second set of troubleshooting issues for a wireless deployment at the site, and a third set of troubleshooting issues for a wired deployment at the site. The one or more processors are configured to determine, based on a user experience metric, a first troubleshooting issue from the first set of troubleshooting issues for the WAN deployment, a second troubleshooting issue from the second set of troubleshooting issues for the wireless deployment, and a third troubleshooting issue from the third set of troubleshooting issues for the wired deployment.

    Abstract: An example system includes network devices at a site; and a network management system (NMS) that is configured to: identify a first network device of the plurality of network devices with which a network connection has been lost; identify, based on a network topology graph generated from the network data, one or more neighbor network devices of the plurality of network devices that are connected to the first network device; perform root cause analysis of the lost connection with the first network device based on the network data to identify a root cause of the lost connection; and send, to a neighbor network device selected from the one or more neighbor network devices and based on the identified root cause, instructions for the first network device to perform an action to remediate the lost connection, wherein the neighbor network device communicates the instructions to the first network device.
