Abstract
Determining the importance of network devices based on a discovered topology, managed endpoints, and activity may be provided. First, topology data may be received corresponding to a network comprising a plurality of devices. Then, a topology matrix may be created representing the topology data. Next, a stationary matrix may be determined from the topology matrix. The stationary matrix may indicate a relative importance of each of the plurality of devices within the network. A health score may then be determined for at least one of the plurality of devices based on the relative importance of the at least one of the plurality of devices. The health score may be determined using the stationary matrix.
