Aspects of the subject technology relate to a system configured to receive a set of network snapshot segments from an output stream of a stream processing service, compile the set of network snapshot segments from the set of messages into a first network snapshot and a second network snapshot, and compare the first network snapshot and the second network snapshot to identify a difference between the first network snapshot and the second network snapshot.

Mechanism for identifying differences between network snapshots

Aspects of the disclosed technology relate to ways to authenticate customer/subscriber access to a policy update stream. A process of the technology can include steps for instantiating a network monitoring device in response to a request, the request comprising one or more configuration parameters for the network monitoring device, and receiving a first certificate from the network monitoring device, wherein the first certificate is based on the one or more configuration parameters. In some aspects, the steps can further include sending the first certificate to a processing pipeline for authentication, wherein the processing pipeline is configured to authenticate the first certificate based on a second certificate received by the processing pipeline from the network monitoring device. Systems and machine readable media are also provided.

Secure publishing for policy updates

Disclosed is a system configured to receive a set of network snapshot segments from an output stream of a stream processing service, compile the set of network snapshot segments from the set of messages into a first network snapshot and a second network snapshot, and compare the first network snapshot and the second network snapshot to identify a difference between the first network snapshot and the second network snapshot.

Aspects of the subject technology relate to a system configured to receive, from a stream processing service, a first network snapshot segment. The first network snapshot segment is associated with metadata that is used to determine that at least one additional network snapshot segment associated with the output stream has not been previously received. The system is configured to request, from the stream processing service, the at least one additional network snapshot segment and generate a first network snapshot by compiling the first network snapshot segment and the at least one additional network snapshot segment.
