Patent attributes
Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for telemetry-based network switch configuration validation are disclosed. An analytics engine captures a first network snapshot including telemetry data received from one or more network switches in a first state. Upon receiving a notice indicating that a network configuration change has been applied, the analytics engine initiates a timer in response to receiving the notice. The analytics engine captures, in response to expiration of the timer, a second network snapshot including telemetry data received from the one or more network switches in a second state and compares the first network snapshot and the second network snapshot. In dependence upon the comparison of the first network snapshot to the second network snapshot, the analytics engine validates the network configuration change.
