Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method that provides a visualization of data message paths through sets of services. For each data message of multiple data messages that traverse a network, the method identifies a set of services applied to the data messages within the network based on flow data collected from a set of network elements. The method generates an animated visualization of the data messages that includes representations of the services and paths the data messages take through the services. The method provides the generated visualization in a graphical user interface (GUI) to enable monitoring of data messages traversing the network via different service paths.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for displaying a visualization of a middlebox rule. Through a graphical user interface (GUI) that provides a visualization of middlebox rules, the method receives a selection of a particular middlebox rule defined for a network. In response to the selection, the method displays in the GUI a visualization of the particular middlebox rule that includes (i) a first display area for providing GUI items representing a set of source groups to which the particular middlebox rule is applied, (ii) a second display area for providing GUI items representing a set of services to which the particular middlebox rule is applied, and (iii) a third display area for providing GUI items representing a set of destination groups to which the particular middlebox rule is applied.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for presenting a visualization of a data message flow within a logical network that is implemented across multiple sites. The method receives flow tracing data regarding the data message flow from a source endpoint in a first site to a second endpoint in a second site. The data message flow is processed according to logical forwarding elements (LFEs) implemented in at least the first and second sites. For each of the sites through which the data message flow passes, the method identifies the LFEs that process the data message flow in the site. The method presents a visualization for the data message flow. The visualization includes a separate section for each site through which the data message flow passes. Each section indicates at least a subset of the LFEs that process the data message flow in the corresponding site for the section.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for presenting a visualization of a topology for a logical network. In response to receiving a selection of a particular user interface (UI) item representing a particular group of logical elements, the method presents one or more filter UI items for the particular group of logical elements. Each filter UI item corresponds to a different attribute associated with the logical elements. Upon receiving selection of one or more attribute states for each attribute for which a filter UI item is presented, the method identifies logical elements in the group of logical elements that match the selected attribute states. The method presents, in the UI, an expanded version of the particular group of logical elements that emphasizes the identified logical elements that match the selected attribute states.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for a network management and control system that manages a virtual infrastructure deployed across a set of datacenters. Based on input from a top-level user of the virtual infrastructure, the method deploys a first logical network within the virtual infrastructure and defines one or more second-level users of the virtual infrastructure. The method receives input from a second-level user of the virtual infrastructure to define a second logical network and connect the second logical network to the first logical network. The first and second logical networks use a same data model and the second-level users are restricted from viewing configuration of the first logical network.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for a network management and control system that manages a virtual infrastructure deployed across a set of datacenters. The method receives a definition of an application to be deployed in the virtual infrastructure. The application definition specifies (i) a set of tiers of the application and (ii) a set of requirements for deploying the application. Based on the application definition, the method automatically defines a logical network architecture for connecting data compute nodes (DCNs) that implement the application tiers in the set of datacenters. The method configures a set of forwarding elements in the set of datacenters to implement the logical network architecture.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for defining security groups in a network. In a user interface, the method displays (i) a set of existing security groups and (ii) a set of recommend security groups based on monitored network flows in the network. Each existing security group and recommended security group includes at least one data compute node (DCN). The method provides a user interface tool for (i) accepting recommended security groups to be part of the set of existing security groups and (ii) adding DCNs from the recommended security groups to the existing security groups. Security rules are defined and implemented in the network for DCNs belonging to existing security groups.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a method for providing a visualization of a topology for a logical network implemented in a physical network. The method identifies a set of logical elements of the logical network. For each logical element, the method identifies a set of one or more physical elements in the physical network that implements the logical element. Multiple physical elements are identified for at least one of the logical elements. Through a user interface (UI) the method displays a visualization that includes (1) the set of logical elements, (2) connections between the logical elements, (3) the sets of physical elements that implement each logical element in the set of logical elements, and (4) correlations between each logical element and the set of physical elements that implements the logical element. Each logical element and each physical element is represented by a node in the visualization.
