A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20240015065A1) outlines a computer-implemented method and system for monitoring network metrics in a networked environment. The method involves determining a set of network metrics based on network communications, identifying non-compliant metrics, generating normalized scores for these metrics, and classifying the network environment based on these metrics. The system includes computer-readable memory storing executable instructions and processors to carry out these functions, along with additional features such as determining comparison properties, identifying deficiencies, ranking remedial resources, and generating hierarchical representations of metrics and resources.

The innovative approach presented in the patent allows for efficient monitoring and management of network metrics in complex networked environments. By identifying non-compliant metrics and providing normalized scores, the method and system offer a systematic way to address deficiencies and prioritize remedial actions. The inclusion of user input for adjusting peer group classifications and generating rosters of relevant metrics further enhances the adaptability and usability of the system. Overall, the patent introduces a comprehensive solution for network monitoring and remediation, potentially offering valuable insights and tools for network administrators and IT professionals in optimizing network performance and compliance.
