Abstract
This disclosure generally relate to a method and system for mapping network information. The present technology relates techniques that enable full-scale, dynamic network mapping of a network system. By collecting network and computing data using built-in sensors, the present technology can provide network information for system monitoring and maintenance. According to some embodiments, the present technology enables generating and displaying of network connections and data processing statistics related to numerous nodes in a network. The present technology provides useful insights and actionable knowledge for network monitoring, security, and maintenance, via intelligently summarizing and effectively displaying the complex network communications and processes of a network.
