Overview

Network Intelligence Service (NIS) is a cloud service that monitors the health status and performance of networks, performs diagnostics and troubleshoots issues, and analyzes and measures network traffic. NIS uses Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations (AIOps) methods such as machine learning and knowledge graphs to simplify network management and implement automated O&M. This helps network architects and O&M engineers design and use networks in a more efficient manner.

Benefits

Intelligent Analysis

NIS is an easy-to-use service that can automatically perform analysis and diagnostics on key objects, including paths, instances, and network traffic, and provide suggestions for optimization.

Non-intrusive Method

The system collects data about the status of instances without performance degradation or service interruptions.

High Time Efficiency

NIS collects, analyzes, and processes data in real time. When NIS detects anomalies, it immediately sends notifications and displays the analysis results.

Features

Instance Diagnostics

This feature is used to monitor the configurations and status of instances, perform diagnostics, and resolve issues based on diagnostic results. Ease of use After a diagnostic request is submitted, the system automatically performs diagnostics on the specified instances and generates diagnostic reports. Multiple diagnostic items The system can perform diagnostics on multiple items, including configurations, status, specifications, billing, and security policies of instances. Comprehensive diagnostic procedure The system can perform diagnostics on instances, generate diagnostic results, and provide suggestions.

Path Analysis

This feature is used to analyze network performance and the connectivity between a source and a destination. You can also use this feature to view information about the network topology and the connected network devices. Self-service reachability diagnostics The system can detect connectivity errors in real time and verify configurations that include the configurations of routes, security groups, and access control lists (ACLs). Visualized topology and connection view You can view the network devices through which data passes between a source and a destination, for example, elastic network interfaces (ENIs), vSwitches, and vRouters. Suitable for multiple scenarios You can use this feature for connections over virtual private clouds (VPCs), the Internet, or leased lines and cross-region connections.

Traffic Analysis

This feature is used to monitor network traffic in various scenarios, generate alerts when abnormal network traffic is detected, and identify the root causes. Real-time troubleshooting and analysis The system can analyze data in real time, detect anomalies in network traffic at the earliest opportunity, and locate the IP addresses or instances on which issues occur. Historical issue tracing This feature can be used to analyze historical data, trace and reproduce historical network issues, and identify the causes of these issues. Suitable for multiple scenarios This feature is suitable for multiple network access scenarios in the cloud. For example, you can use this feature for connections over NAT Gateway, the Internet, or leased lines and cross-region connections.
