Abstract:
Systems and methods provide for enriching flow data to analyze network security, availability, and compliance. A network analytics system can capture flow data and metadata from network elements. The network analytics system can enrich the flow data by in-line association of the flow data and metadata. The network analytics system can generate multiple planes with each plane representing a dimension of enriched flow data. The network analytics system can generate nodes for the planes with each node representing a unique value or set of values for the dimensions represented by planes. The network analytics system can generate edges for the nodes of the planes with each edge representing a flow between endpoints corresponding to the nodes. The network analytics system can update the planes in response to an interaction with the planes or in response to a query.
