Abstract
A method, a computer-readable medium, and a device for dynamically identifying criticality of services and data sources. Service-related metrics are received from all IoT network elements in a network. The service-related metrics are parsed to extrapolate a network topology. From the topology, a set of critical service delivery points are determined based on data extracted from the service-related metrics. The critical service delivery points may be monitored for service interruptions and alerts may be generated in response to interruptions. Additionally the extrapolated network topology may be compared to a previously recorded topology of the network, and based on the delta, alerts may be generated when the delta meets a threshold.
