Diagnostic network visualization
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- analyzing, via a collector engine, network traffic associated with a plurality of network elements; and
generating a graphical user interface comprising;
a first plurality of graphical segments representing the plurality of network elements in different categories with different statuses, each of the first plurality of graphical segments (i) being contiguously arranged relative to another of the first plurality of graphical segments in a first graphical structure, (ii) indicating at least one of the categories of the plurality of network elements, (iii) indicating a number of network elements in the at least one of the categories, and (iv) having at least one sub-segment of a plurality of sub-segments, each of the plurality of sub-segments indicating a first grouping of one or more network elements in a same category and having a same status, the plurality of sub-segments representing the different statuses of the plurality of network elements; and
a second plurality of graphical segments representing the plurality of network elements, each of the second plurality of graphical segments (i) being contiguously arranged relative to another of the second plurality of graphical segments in a second graphical structure, and (ii) indicating a second grouping of the one or more network elements in a same geographic location, branch office, network segment, or logical division.

Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for network visualization. A system analyzes traffic associated with network elements and generates a graphical user interface (GUI). The GUI can include graphical segments representing the network elements and contiguously arranged in a first graphical structure. Each of the graphical segments can represent a category of network elements and indicate a number of network elements in the category. The GUI can also include a second set of graphical segments representing the network traffic and contiguously arranged in a second graphical structure. Each of the second set of graphical segments can represent a type of traffic associated with respective network elements and indicate an amount of traffic associated with the type of traffic. Moreover, the GUI can include visual indication(s) representing respective amounts of traffic for each specific type of traffic and/or an amount of bandwidth between the collector engine and a remote destination.

17. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
-
analyzing network traffic associated with a plurality of network elements; and generating a graphical user interface comprising; a first ring representing the plurality of network elements in different categories with different statuses, the first ring including first segments, each of the first segments (i) contiguously arranged relative to another of the first segments, (ii) indicating at least one of the categories of the plurality of network elements, and (iii) having at least one sub-segment of a plurality of sub-segments, each of the plurality of sub-segments indicating a first grouping of one or more network elements in a same category and having a same status, the plurality of sub-segments representing the different statuses of the plurality of network elements; a second ring representing the plurality of network elements, the second ring including second segments contiguously arranged within the second ring, each of the second segments (i) contiguously arranged relative to another of the second segments, and (ii) indicating a second grouping of the one or more network elements in a same geographic location, branch office, network segment, or logical division. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
