Abstract:
1. A method of troubleshooting performance of a network, comprising: monitoring network traffic made up of Internet protocol (IP) packets to generate measurements of network application monitoring metrics; aggregating the measurements into respective aggregate measurements that correspond to one or more user-defined logical groups; determining an anomalous condition from an aggregate measurement corresponding to one of the user-defined logical groups; decomposing, in response to determining the anomalous condition, the aggregate measurement into isolated measurements corresponding to members of the user-defined logical group that contribute to the anomalous condition; and providing information to visually depict the isolated measurements members of the user-defined logical group that contribute to the anomalous condition, wherein the one or more user-defined logical groups each comprise a connected group configured to communicate with members of the one or more user-defined logical group.
