Claim 7:
8. A system comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one memory storing instructions, which when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
receive a set of messages associated with an output stream of a stream processing service, wherein each message in the set of messages includes a network snapshot segment;
identify an offset for a first network snapshot segment;
based on the offset, determine if the first network snapshot segment is a first segment of a first network snapshot;
in response to the first network snapshot segment not being the first segment of the first network snapshot, request additional messages based on the offset;
receive the additional messages including an additional network snapshot segment;
compile, from the set of messages and the additional network snapshot segment, a first network snapshot;
identify a difference between the first network snapshot and a second network snapshot;
provide the difference to a consumer system.
