Patent number: 11909522Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for monitoring application health via correctable errors. The method includes identifying, by a network device, a network packet associated with an application and detecting an error associated with the network packet. In response to detecting the error, the network device increments a counter associated with the application, determines an application score based at least in part on the counter, and telemeters the application score to a controller. The controller can generate a graphical interface based at least in part on the application score and a timestamp associated with the application score, wherein the graphical interface depicts a trend in correctable errors experienced by the application over a network.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2022Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Keerthi Manjunathan Swarnamanjunathan, Chih-Tsung Huang, Kelvin Chan, Wei-Jen Huang
