(Neo4j)-[:LOVES]-(Developers)

Friends of Friends

Find all of Joe's second-degree friends

Joe knows Sally, and Sally knows Anna. Bob is excluded from the result because, in addition to being a 2nd-degree friend through Sally, he's also a first-degree friend.

Common Friends

Find friends in common between Joe and Sally

Joe and Sally both know Bob.

Connecting Paths

Find all paths, up to 6 degrees, between Joe and Billy

There's only one shortest path between Joe and Billy in this dataset, so that path is returned.

Impact Analysis

Dependency Analysis

Statistics

Impact Analysis

Find all services that depend on Server 1. These would be impacted by an outage of that server.

Only Webserver VM depends on Server 1. Because we're looking at variable length paths of DEPENDS_ON relationships, we're also able to determine that Public Website would be impacted by an outage of Server 1.

Dependency Analysis

Find all services which the Public Website depends on to be operational.

The Public Website depends on the Database VM and the Webserver VM, which each depend on other services.

Statistics

Find the most depended-upon component

As is the case in many data centers, the SAN is the most depended upon component. All six other services directly or indirectly depend on it.

Transitive Closure

Investigation Targeting

Fast Insights

Transitive Closure

Given suspicions about Hank, find related information to investigate.

Hank shares an account with Abby. Abby shares a SSN with Sophie and Max. Given that we suspect Hank may be involved in fraudulent activity, we can flag the Cayman account, Sophie, and Abby as possible fraudulent entities.

Investigation Targeting

Fraud rings often share fraudulent identifying information. Any person with connections to more than two entities in the graph are suspicious. Find large cliques to investigate further.

Sophie, Max and Abby all share a SSN, which is suspicious. Hank is also suspicious because he is sharing an account with Abby.

Fast Insights

Given that we've identified SSN 993-63-2634 as suspcious, find all associated accounts.

We see that the Cayman account #863 is the only account where a Person using this SSN owns the account.
