Abstract
Some embodiments provide a method for detecting a threat to a datacenter. The method generates a graph of connections between data compute nodes (DCNs) in the datacenter. Each connection has an associated time period during which the connection is active. The method receives an anomalous event occurring during a particular time period at a particular DCN operating in the datacenter. The method analyzes the generated graph to determine a set of paths between DCNs in the datacenter that include connections to the particular DCN during the particular time period. The method uses the set of paths to identify a threat to the datacenter.
