    摘要: Some embodiments provide a novel method of assessing health of a software managed network (SMN) that includes multiple forwarding elements that exchange data messages with each other. A health analytics manager collects performance metrics from control-plane components of the SMN that configure the forwarding elements of the SMN to forward data messages. The health analytics manager also collects performance metrics from data-plane components including the forwarding elements of the SMN. Then, the health analytics manager generates one health score from the collected performance metrics of the control-plane and data-plane components to express an overall health of the SMN.

    摘要: Some embodiments provide a novel method for receiving a plurality of attribute sets from a set of host computers, each attribute set associated with a group of one or more flows that is created by using a key to associate individual flows into the group of flows. The appliance, in some embodiments, identifies at least two received attribute sets from two different host computers that relate to a same set of flows between a same set of source machines and a same set of destination machines. The appliance merges the two identified attribute sets into one merged attribute set and analyzes the merged attribute set to identify a set of properties of the flows in the groups of flows associated with the two identified attribute sets, in some embodiments.

    摘要: Some embodiments provide a novel method for monitoring health of an SMN that includes multiple networking components. A health analytics manager identifies a set of one or more metrics associated with the network components of the SMN. The health analytics manager uses the set of metrics to compute a first health score for the SMN. Then, the health analytics manager presents the first health score in a UI along with (1) data regarding how the first health score was computed, and (2) a set of one or more parameters for a user to modify how the health for the SMN is computed. After receiving from the user one or more modifications to at least one of the parameters, the health analytics manager computes a second health score for the SMN based on the modified set of parameters.

    摘要: Some embodiments provide a novel method for monitoring health of LFEs of a logical network. For an LFE implemented by multiple PFEs, a health analytics manager identifies a set of one or more metrics associated with each PFE implementing the LFE. The health analytics manager uses the set of metrics to compute a health score for the LFE. Then, the health analytics manager provides the health score in a report to provide an indication regarding the monitored health of the LFE. The set of metrics used to compute the health score for the LFE includes, in some embodiments, at least one metric for each PFE implementing the LFE.

    摘要: Some embodiments provide a mechanism to automatically group workloads of a network into clusters of related workloads. The method of some embodiments displays consolidated workload data for a network. The method, for each of multiple workloads: (1) receives a set of identifiers characterizing the workload; and (2) converts the set of identifiers to a vector representation of the workload. The method then identifies clusters of workloads based on the vector representations of the workloads. The method then displays the workloads grouped in the identified clusters and displays data flows between the clusters of workloads. Converting the set of identifiers to a vector representation of the workload may include applying a similarity metric to the set of identifiers.

    摘要: Some embodiments provide a novel method for monitoring health of logical networks. For a logical network including multiple LFEs, a health analytics manager identifies a set of one or more metrics associated with each LFE in the logical network. The health analytics manager uses the set of metrics to compute a health score for the logical network. Then, the health analytics manager provides the health score in a report to provide an indication regarding the monitored health of the logical network. In some embodiments, at least one LFE is implemented by multiple PFEs, and the set of metrics includes metrics associated with each of the PFEs implementing the at least one LFE.
