Abstract
This disclosure provides solutions for automatically grouping network devices (e.g., endpoints) into clusters based on device characteristics. In some aspects, the disclosed technology also provides solutions for generating user selectable queries based on cluster characteristics. A process of the disclosed technology can include steps for identifying one or more device characteristics associated with a first network device, identifying one or more cluster characteristics for each of a first cluster and a second cluster, and comparing the device characteristics associated with the first network device with the one or more cluster characteristics for the first cluster and the second cluster. The process can further include steps for adding the first network device to the first cluster based on the cluster characteristics for the first cluster and the device characteristics for the first network device. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.
