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 mechanism to automatically group workloads of a network into clusters of related workloads. The method of some embodiments displays consolidated workload data for a network. The method, for each of multiple workloads: (1) receives a set of identifiers characterizing the workload; and (2) converts the set of identifiers to a vector representation of the workload. The method then identifies clusters of workloads based on the vector representations of the workloads. The method then displays the workloads grouped in the identified clusters and displays data flows between the clusters of workloads. Converting the set of identifiers to a vector representation of the workload may include applying a similarity metric to the set of identifiers.
