Abstract: Systems and methods are described for providing a graphical user interface (“GUI”) for graph-based visualizations of network flows using entity clustering. In an example, an application service can periodically execute a job for assigning network entities to clusters according to a clustering type. The job can also include creating metadata about each cluster. The application service can store the assignments in a cache. A user can select to display a visualization of the network in the GUI based on the clustering type. The application service can detect any entities without cluster assignments and create a best guess assignment for them. The GUI can then display a visualization of the network according to the selected clustering type.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a novel method for receiving a plurality of attribute sets from a set of host computers, each attribute set associated with a group of one or more flows that is created by using a key to associate individual flows into the group of flows. The appliance, in some embodiments, merges two identified attribute sets into one merged attribute set and analyzes the merged attribute set to identify a set of properties of the flows in the groups of flows associated with the two attribute sets. In some embodiments, a visualization process includes identifying machines as members of groups and identifying machines that are connected. The visualization process, in some embodiments, also generates a graphical user interface that can be used to select groups of machines, domains, or individual machines and displays contextual attributes relevant to the selected group, domain, or machine.
