Systems, methods, and computer program products for detecting network anomalies using node scoring. A network analysis system designates each server computer in a distributed computing network as a node in a graph. The network analysis system constructs a first graph of the distributed computing network for a training period. The system then determines a respective first node score of each node. The system constructs a second graph of the distributed computing network for a test time period. The system then reduces the second graph by removing those edges from the second graph that appear in both the first graph and the second graph. The system determines a respective second node score of each node in the reduced second graph. The system computes differences between the first node scores and the second node scores. The system designates nodes associated with the highest differences as anomalous nodes.
