Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques that include collecting underlay flow data along with overlay flow data within a network and correlating the data to enable insights into network operation and performance. In one example, this disclosure describes a method that includes collecting flow data for a network having a plurality of network devices and a plurality of virtual networks established within the network; storing the flow data in a data store; receiving a request for information about a data flow, wherein the request for information specifies a source virtual network for the data flow and further specifies a destination virtual network for the data flow; and querying the data store with the specified source virtual network and the specified destination virtual network to identify, based on the stored flow data, one or more network devices that have processed at least one packet in the data flow.
