    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 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: Some embodiments of the invention provide a method for presenting a visualization of a logical network that spans multiple geographically dispersed sites. For each logical element in a set of logical elements of the logical network, the method identifies a set of sites spanned by the logical element. Through a user interface (UI), the method displays a visualization of a topology of the logical network, the visualization including (1) representations for the logical elements and for logical connections between the logical elements and (2) at least a first set of UI items specifying each site of the multiple sites spanned by the logical network to indicate, for each logical element represented in the visualization, the set of sites spanned by the logical element.

    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 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.
