8. A system comprising:
one or more processors; and
at least one computer-readable storage medium having stored therein instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
identify correlated spanning tree loop indicators within a network environment;
recognize a potential spanning tree loop in the network environment from a plurality of the correlated spanning tree loop indicators based on indicator types of the correlated spanning tree loop indicators; and
remedy the potential spanning tree loop in the network environment in response to recognizing the potential spanning tree loop in the network environment.
