Abstract
Some embodiments provide a method for a system that monitors a network to prevent violations of declared policies. The method stores network state data received from a plurality of data sources as a set of tables. The method receives a declaration of a policy that specifies a set of conditions for a particular set of network state entities received from at least two of the data sources. The set of conditions is specified as an existence of a set of data tuples involving the set of network state entities in the stored set of tables. The method monitors the network state data according to the declared policy.
