Abstract

Aspects of the subject technology relate to a system configured to receive, from a stream processing service, a first network snapshot segment. The first network snapshot segment is associated with metadata that is used to determine that at least one additional network snapshot segment associated with the output stream has not been previously received. The system is configured to request, from the stream processing service, the at least one additional network snapshot segment and generate a first network snapshot by compiling the first network snapshot segment and the at least one additional network snapshot segment.
