AUTOMATICALLY TROUBLESHOOTING AND REMEDIATING NETWORK ISSUES VIA CONNECTED NEIGHBORS

An example system includes network devices at a site; and a network management system (NMS) that is configured to: identify a first network device of the plurality of network devices with which a network connection has been lost; identify, based on a network topology graph generated from the network data, one or more neighbor network devices of the plurality of network devices that are connected to the first network device; perform root cause analysis of the lost connection with the first network device based on the network data to identify a root cause of the lost connection; and send, to a neighbor network device selected from the one or more neighbor network devices and based on the identified root cause, instructions for the first network device to perform an action to remediate the lost connection, wherein the neighbor network device communicates the instructions to the first network device.
