Abstract

In one embodiment, a network assurance service that monitors a network detects an anomaly in the network by applying an anomaly detector to telemetry data collected from the network. The service sends first data to a user interface that causes the interface to present the detected anomaly and one or more candidate root cause metrics from the telemetry data associated with the detected anomaly. The service receives feedback regarding the candidate root cause metric(s) and learns a root cause of the anomaly as one or more thresholds of the candidate root cause metric(s), based in part on the received feedback regarding the candidate root cause metric(s). The service sends second data to the user interface that causes the user interface to present at least one of the candidate root cause metric(s) as a candidate root cause of a subsequent detected anomaly, based on the learned threshold(s).
