Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a method for monitoring and adjusting a service chain that includes several services to perform on data messages passing through a network. For a service chain implemented by a set of service paths each of which includes several service nodes that implement the services of the service chain, the method receives, from a set of service proxies, operational data relating to data transmission characteristics of a set of operational service nodes. The method analyzes the data transmission characteristics. In response to the analysis of the data transmission characteristics, the method alters the set of service paths implementing the service chain.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a method for monitoring a particular service chain that includes several services to perform on data messages passing through a network. The method provides a user interface to receive a selection of the particular service chain from a plurality of service chains. The particular service chain is implemented by several service paths, each of which includes several service nodes that implement the services of the service chain. The method generates a graphical display of the service paths through the service nodes, and as part of this graphical display, provides operational data relating to operations of the service nodes of the service paths. In some embodiments, the method also provides, as part of the graphical display, operational data relating to operations of individual service path.
