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.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for a network management and control system that manages a virtual infrastructure deployed across a plurality of sites. The method receives a definition of an application to be deployed in the virtual infrastructure. The application definition specifying a first set of the sites at which to deploy the application. Based on the definition of the application, the method assigns the application to a set of security zones defined for the virtual infrastructure. Each respective security zone is restricted to a respective set of the sites. The method deploys the application in a second set of sites based on the first set of sites and the sets of sites to which the set of security zones are restricted.

Abstract: Example methods and systems for logical network visualization. One example may comprise a computer system obtaining and processing topology information identifying a set of logical network elements. To visualize the set of logical network elements, the computer system may configure logical network topology graph is configured to include a multi-level group node that is formed using (a) a parent group node and (b) a child group node. The parent group node may be configured in a folded state to visualize multiple first elements and associated with parent group node information. The child group node may be configured in a folded state to visualize multiple second elements and associated with child group node information. The computer system may interact with a user device to cause display of the parent group node and the child group node along with the respective parent group node information and child group node information.

Abstract: Example methods and systems for network status visualization are described. In one example, a first computer system may generate and send a first query identifying a first-level object. Based on a first response, the first computer system may generate and display a first UI view that includes (a) a first user interface (UI) element and multiple second UI elements, (b) a first-level status indicator to indicate that the first-level object is associated with a performance issue, and (c) a second-level status indicator to indicate that the performance issue is associated with a particular second-level object. In response to detecting a user's interaction, the first computer system may generate and send a second query identifying the particular second-level object. Based on a second response, the first computer system may generate and display a second UI view to facilitate troubleshooting of the performance issue.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for displaying information about a data message. Through a graphical user interface (GUI) that provides a visualization of paths for a plurality of data messages in a network, the method receives a selection of a particular data message. In response to the selection, the method displays in the GUI (i) a set of characteristics of the selected data message, (ii) a path through a set of services of the network traversed by the selected data message, (iii) information regarding additional data messages sharing at least a subset of the set of characteristics of the selected data message, and (iv) information regarding one or more service rules applied to the data message at one or more of the services.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for updating network configuration documentation. In an example, a user can upload network configuration documentation with updates to a network to a server. The server can create an update topology corresponding to the documentation by identifying symbols that represent network components. The server can identify changes by comparing the update topology to a configuration data of an existing network. For example, the address of a gateway or the connections to the gateway can change. The server can cause the changes to be presented to a user, such as by highlighting the changes in a diagram. The user can confirm the changes, such as with a conversational workflow, and the server can save the changes to a database. The system can also send commands to the applicable network components to effectuate the confirmed changes.

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 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.
