    Abstract: In one embodiment, a network assurance service maintains a first set of telemetry data from the network anonymized using a first key regarding a plurality of network entities in a monitored network. The service receives a key rotation notification indicative of a key changeover from the first key to a second key for anonymization of a second set of telemetry data from the network. The service forms, during a key rotation time period associated with the key changeover, a mapped dataset by converting anonymized tokens in the second set of telemetry data into anonymized tokens in the first set of telemetry data. The service augments, during the key rotation time period, the first set of telemetry data with the mapped dataset. The service assesses, during the time period, performance of the network by applying a machine learning-based model to the first set of telemetry data augmented with the mapped dataset.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a network assurance service executing in a local network clusters measurements obtained from the local network regarding a plurality of devices in the local network into measurement clusters. The network assurance service computes aggregated metrics for each of the measurement clusters. The network assurance service sends a machine learning model computation request to a remote service outside of the local network that includes the aggregated metrics for each of the measurement clusters. The remote service uses the aggregated metrics to train a machine learning-based model to analyze the local network. The network assurance service receives the trained machine learning-based model to analyze performance of the local network. The network assurance service uses the receive machine learning-based model to analyze performance of the local network.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a service identifies a performance issue exhibited by a first device in a first network. The service forms a set of one or more time series of one or more characteristics of the first device associated with the identified performance issue. The service generates a mapping between the set of one or more time series of one or more characteristics of the first device to one or more time series of one or more characteristics of a second device in a second network. The mapping comprises a relevancy score that quantifies a degree of similarity between the characteristics of the first and second devices. The service determines a likelihood of the second device exhibiting the performance issue based on the generated mapping and on the relevancy score. The service provides an indication of the determined likelihood to a user interface associated with the second network.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, techniques are shown and described relating to traffic-based inference of influence domains in a network by using learning machines. In particular, in one embodiment, a management device computes a time-based traffic matrix indicating traffic between pairs of transmitter and receiver nodes in a computer network, and also determines a time-based quality parameter for a particular node in the computer network. By correlating the time-based traffic matrix and time-based quality parameter for the particular node, the device may then determine an influence of particular traffic of the traffic matrix on the particular node.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a network assurance service that monitors a network detects an anomaly in the network by applying an anomaly detector to telemetry data collected from the network. The service sends first data to a user interface that causes the interface to present the detected anomaly and one or more candidate root cause metrics from the telemetry data associated with the detected anomaly. The service receives feedback regarding the candidate root cause metric(s) and learns a root cause of the anomaly as one or more thresholds of the candidate root cause metric(s), based in part on the received feedback regarding the candidate root cause metric(s). The service sends second data to the user interface that causes the user interface to present at least one of the candidate root cause metric(s) as a candidate root cause of a subsequent detected anomaly, based on the learned threshold(s).

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a network assurance service associates a target key performance indicator (tKPI) measured from a network with a plurality of causation key performance indicators (cKPIs) measured from the network that may indicate a root cause of a tKPI anomaly. The network assurance service applies a machine learning-based anomaly detector to the tKPI over time, to generate tKPI anomaly scores. The network assurance service calculates, for each of cKPIs, a mean and standard deviation of that cKPI using a plurality of different time windows associated with the tKPI anomaly scores. The network assurance service uses the calculated means and standard deviations of the cKPIs in the different time windows to calculate cross-correlation scores between the tKPI anomaly scores and the cKPIs. The network assurance service selects one or more of the cKPIs as the root cause of the tKPI anomaly based on their calculated cross-correlation scores.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a device in a network maintains a machine learning-based recursive model that models a time series of observations regarding a monitored entity in the network. The device applies sparse dictionary learning to the recursive model, to find a decomposition of a particular state vector of the recursive model. The decomposition of the particular state vector comprises a plurality of basis vectors. The device determines a mapping between at least one of the plurality of basis vectors for the particular state vector and one or more human-readable interpretations of the basis vectors. The device provides a label for the particular state vector to a user interface. The label is based on the mapping between the at least one of the plurality of basis vectors for the particular state vector and the one or more human-readable interpretations of the basis vectors.
