    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: 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: 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.
