Virtual network assistant with location input

Abstract

Techniques are described in which a network management system (NMS) is configured to determine a root cause of degraded network performance based on SLE metrics and the locations associated with network devices providing the SLE metrics. The NMS can determine service level experience (SLE) metrics associated with each client device on a network and location data for each client device of the plurality of client devices. The NMS can generate a time series of parameter vectors, where each parameter vector includes SLE metrics corresponding to each client device of the plurality of client devices. Each parameter vector is associated with the location of the client device corresponding to the SLE metrics. The NMS can determine, based on the time series of parameter vectors and associated locations, a root cause for a degradation in SLE metrics associated with the one or more of the client devices.
