    Abstract: Techniques to display a graphic representation of a computer network topology are described. In one example, a network device is configured to generate an output comprising a graphic representation of a topology of a computer network, the computer network comprising compute nodes interconnected by a packet-based communications network provided by a set of network devices, wherein the policy controller is further configured to: identify, amongst the compute nodes or the network devices, a network element having state information indicating an operational state of interest; modify state information for one or more resources that are coupled to the identified network element; and based upon whether the network topology information indicates a visible graphic symbol for the identified network element, output a visual indicator corresponding to the visible graphic symbol or corresponding to a visible resource that is communicably coupled to the identified network element.

    Abstract: An example control plane that is executed on one or more processors in a distributed computing system is configured to receive an indication of a node to be onboarded into the distributed computing system, wherein the node comprises one of a compute node or a network device node, to discover one or more compute resources or network device resources that are associated with the node, and to assign, based on the discovery, the node to a collector that is executed in the distributed computing system, wherein the collector is configured to collect real-time telemetry data for the node during operation of the node. The control plane is further configured to receive, from the collector, the real-time telemetry data for the node that is collected by the collector, and to output, for display, a visual representation of the real-time telemetry data for the node.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques that include collecting flow data associated with communications between network devices, and determining, based on the flow data, one or more virtual networks over which the communications are taking place. In one example, this disclosure describes a system configured to perform operations comprising: storing virtual network configuration information associated with a first virtual network and a second virtual network established within a network; collecting underlay flow data associated with communications between a first server and a second server, wherein each of the first server and the second server are implemented as bare metal servers; determining, based on the underlay flow data and the stored virtual network configuration information, that the first server and the second server have communicated over the first virtual network; and generating a user interface.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques that include collecting underlay flow data along with overlay flow data within a network and correlating the data to enable insights into network operation and performance. In one example, this disclosure describes a method that includes collecting flow data for a network having a plurality of network devices and a plurality of virtual networks established within the network; storing the flow data in a data store; receiving a request for information about a data flow, wherein the request for information specifies a source virtual network for the data flow and further specifies a destination virtual network for the data flow; and querying the data store with the specified source virtual network and the specified destination virtual network to identify, based on the stored flow data, one or more network devices that have processed at least one packet in the data flow.
