Abstract
Embodiments are directed to monitoring network traffic in a network. A device relation model that may be comprised of two or more nodes and one or more edges stored in memory of the network computer may be provided to a network monitoring computer (NMC), such that each node represents an agent and each edge represents a relationship between two agents. If error signals are detected by the NMC, the NMC perform further actions to process the error signals. The device relation model may be traversed to identify agents associated with the error signals. The network traffic associated with the error signals and the agents may be analyzed by the NMC. If the error signals are associated with anomalies in the network traffic, users may be notified. The device relation model may be updated upon discovery of new computing devices, new applications, or new associations between agents.
