Network Diagnostic Systems and Methods for Collecting Data From Network Nodes

摘要

A system may comprise a network diagnostic device. The network diagnostic device may be configured to instantiate objects of data collection classes. The data collection classes may be configured to collect data from nodes of a network. The data collection classes may, for instance, inherit an interface object from an ancestor data collection class, and the interface object may be configured to use a protocol to collect data from nodes of a network. The network diagnostic device may be configured to automatically detect a node type associated with a node of a network. The network diagnostic device may also be configured to instantiate a node-specific data collection object associated with the detected node type. The node-specific data collection object may be configured to collect data from nodes of the detected node type at intervals less than or equal to fifteen seconds.
