Abstract: In an example embodiment, an embedding model is used to generate an embedding of a natural language searching goal specified by a user, the embedding representing user intent of the user. Playbooks in a database of playbooks are also run through the embedding model to generate an embedding for each playbook indicative of a meaning of each playbook. A semantic relationship score can then be computed for each combination of the natural language search goal and a playbook, using the embeddings. These semantic relationship scores can then be passed into a ranking machine learning model, along with measured success rates for the playbooks, to generate a ranking of the playbooks. Based on this ranking, a set of filters and action corresponding to at least one of the playbooks may then be recommended to the user.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for identifying faulty links in a virtualized computing environment. Network path latency information is received for one or more network paths in the networked computing environment. Based on the network path latency information, a probable presence of a faulty component is determined. In response to the determination, physical links for a network path associated with the probable faulty component are identified. Information indicative of likely sources of the probable faulty component is received from multiple hosts of the networked computing environment. Based on the identified physical links and information, a faulty component is determined.
