1. A computer-implemented method for automating network management comprising:
performing, with a processor, monitoring of a network, wherein the monitoring is adaptive to network problems and adaptive to a workload to detect a network incident;
establishing, with the processor, a primary flash probe that is used to detect a primary deviation based on the network incident, wherein the primary flash probe is configured to detect the primary deviation on specific devices;
establishing, with the processor, one or more secondary flash probes related to the primary flash probe that are triggered when the primary flash probe detects the primary deviation, wherein each of the one or more secondary flash probes is configured to detect additional deviations, different from the primary deviation, on specific devices that are related to the primary deviation detected by the primary flash probe, which is related to the network incident;
generating, with the processor, a flash alert when the primary flash probe detects the primary deviation, wherein the primary flash probe generates a corresponding flash alert; and
generating, with the processor, a flash alert when the one or more secondary flash probes detect the additional deviations, wherein each of the one or more secondary flash probes generates a corresponding flash alert.
