Abstract: A processing system including at least one processor may be maintain an historical graph database storing historical graph state information for a graph including a set of elements, where the historical graph state information includes, for each element, respective element state information and respective state version tracking information for the respective element. The processing system may receive an event indicative of a management action associated with a first element, where the first element may include a new element to be added to the graph or an existing element of the set of elements. The processing system may update, based on the event, the historical graph state information of the historical graph database, where the updating may include providing respective state version tracking information for the first element, and handle, based on the historical graph database, a query to retrieve a set of information of the graph.

Abstract: A processing system including at least one processor may maintain a graph database including graph state information for a set of elements of a graph, where the graph state information includes, for each element in the set of elements of the graph, respective element state information for the respective element. The processing system may further generate, from the graph database, an historical graph database including historical graph state information, where the historical graph state information includes, for each element in the set of elements of the graph, the respective element state information for the respective element and respective state version tracking information for the respective element.

Abstract: A device that monitors a network element in a network topology of network elements within a software defined network (SDN) and identifies a first node state and a second node state for the network element. The device detects an occurrence of an error between the first node state and the second node state. The device determines a differential for the network element between the first node state and the second node state indicating changes to the network element occurring between the first node state and the second node state. The device, based on determining the differential, displays one or more attributes or the one or more relationships associated with the network element at the first node state, the second node state or the differential between states.

Abstract: A processing system including at least one processor may maintain a graph database including graph state information for a set of elements of a graph, where the graph state information includes, for each element in the set of elements of the graph, respective element state information for the respective element. The processing system may further generate, from the graph database, an historical graph database including historical graph state information, where the historical graph state information includes, for each element in the set of elements of the graph, the respective element state information for the respective element and respective state version tracking information for the respective element.
