  • Publication number: 20230291674
    Abstract: Respective network metrics sets corresponding to one or more data sources are examined at a network health manager. Network health states corresponding to one or more endpoint pair categories are determined based on the analysis of the network metric sets. An indication of the network health state of a particular endpoint pair category is stored.

  • Patent number: 11075911
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described for a network address block treatment server. The network address block treatment server identifies blocks of network addresses, associates them with treatments, and generates compact representations of the network address blocks. Blocks may be identified based on network activity data or on the treatment of individual network addresses, and treatments may be associated with address blocks based on address-level and/or block-level criteria. Treatments may include, for example, denying service requests, throttling, queueing, issuing a challenge-response, or limiting the number or scope of services. The network address block treatment server may review treatments periodically or upon receipt of additional network activity data. The server may implement treatments in connection with firewall or routing services, or may transmit address block representations and associated treatments to network service providers for implementation.

  • Publication number: 20210119890
    Abstract: A determination is made that a graphical representation of network health state information pertaining to a client account of a provider network is to be provided. Using respective network metrics groups corresponding to several data sources, a network health state descriptor corresponding to a resource associated with the client account is generated. A data set usable to generate a graphical display of network health state information of the resource of the client account is transmitted.

  • Patent number: 10911263
    Abstract: A request to obtain network health information pertaining to a client account of a provider network is received via a programmatic interface. Respective sets of network metrics are obtained from several data sources of the provider network, and a respective network health state descriptor is generated for one or more resource sets associated with the client account. A response to the request is prepared using the network health state descriptor and transmitted.

  • Patent number: 10243820
    Abstract: An occurrence of a network health impairment event associated with a service of a provider network is detected using metrics corresponding to one or more data sources. Based on an analysis of a list of services being utilized on behalf of a customer, a determination is made that the probability of a negative impact of the impairment on an application of the customer is below a threshold. A network health state message indicating a healthy state of resources allocated to the customer is transmitted to a destination associated with the first customer.
