Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for graph based monitoring and management of network components of a distributed streaming system. In one aspect, a method includes generating, by a processor, a first metrics and a second metrics based on data collected on a system; generating, by the processor, a topology graph representing data flow within the system; generating, by the processor, at least one first metrics graph corresponding to the first metrics based in part on the topology graph; generating, by the processor, at least one second metrics graph corresponding to the second metrics based in part on the topology graph; identifying, by the processor, a malfunction within the system based on a change in at least one of the first metrics graph and the second metrics graph; and sending, by the processor, a feedback on the malfunction to an operational management component of the system.
