Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for a network management system (NMS) that performs quality of service (QoS) monitoring and troubleshooting of user experience issues occurring outside of a network managed by the NMS using data obtained from third-party sources. For example, an NMS obtains third-party data of a third-party application server or third-party service provider server from a third-party monitoring vendor. The NMS identifies a user experience issue indicated by the third-party data and stitches the third-party data to network data received from network devices. The NMS determines a root cause or a remedial action of the user experience issue based at least on the network data received from the one or more network devices. The NMS generates a notification for presentation to an administrator device which identifies the root cause or the remedial action of the user experience issue.
