The selection process and involved network metric types can be configured by the user associated with the domain via a selection policy. Network metrics can be provided by the user or collected based on reported data generated by remote clients through provided metric-generating code, and thereafter transformed into network metric summary data that is used for resolution.

Abstract: Various methods, apparatuses/systems, and media for implementing a smart toolchain integration module are disclosed. A processor detects an issue in connection with performance and/or operation of an application and creates an event, in response to detecting the issue, with required parameters. The processor causes the event to be consumed with the required parameters in an event automation platform and triggers a corresponding microservice which stores a code to be utilized for replicating and interpreting the issue in response to consuming the event. The processor also replicates the issue by running a check through hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) POST request by the microservice to a corresponding application programming interface (API) based on the code; interprets the issue by sending a HTTP secure (HTTPS) GET request by the microservice to the corresponding API based on the code; and automatically remediates the issue based on the required parameters.
