Abstract: Some embodiments provide a novel method for monitoring health of LFEs of a logical network. For an LFE implemented by multiple PFEs, a health analytics manager identifies a set of one or more metrics associated with each PFE implementing the LFE. The health analytics manager uses the set of metrics to compute a health score for the LFE. Then, the health analytics manager provides the health score in a report to provide an indication regarding the monitored health of the LFE. The set of metrics used to compute the health score for the LFE includes, in some embodiments, at least one metric for each PFE implementing the LFE.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a novel method of assessing health of a software managed network (SMN) that includes multiple forwarding elements that exchange data messages with each other. A health analytics manager collects performance metrics from control-plane components of the SMN that configure the forwarding elements of the SMN to forward data messages. The health analytics manager also collects performance metrics from data-plane components including the forwarding elements of the SMN. Then, the health analytics manager generates one health score from the collected performance metrics of the control-plane and data-plane components to express an overall health of the SMN.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a novel method for monitoring health of logical networks. For a logical network including multiple LFEs, a health analytics manager identifies a set of one or more metrics associated with each LFE in the logical network. The health analytics manager uses the set of metrics to compute a health score for the logical network. Then, the health analytics manager provides the health score in a report to provide an indication regarding the monitored health of the logical network. In some embodiments, at least one LFE is implemented by multiple PFEs, and the set of metrics includes metrics associated with each of the PFEs implementing the at least one LFE.

Abstract: The disclosure herein describes managing smart alarms based on an associated set of alarms and/or events. The alarms are detected in a computing system and the detected alarms are used to identify a smart alarm definition with which the detected alarms are associated. A condition of the identified smart alarm definition is evaluated, and it is determined that the condition is satisfied at least in part by the set of alarms. Smart alarm information is then provided using the smart alarm definition and the detected set of alarms. Providing smart alarm information associated with the detected set of alarms and/or events provides additional context to enable efficient interpretation of detected alarms in a computing system. Further, managing the smart alarms as described reduces the quantity of individual alarms that must be processed and reduces the likelihood of errors occurring as those alarms are processed.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a novel method for monitoring health of an SMN that includes multiple networking components. A health analytics manager identifies a set of one or more metrics associated with the network components of the SMN. The health analytics manager uses the set of metrics to compute a first health score for the SMN. Then, the health analytics manager presents the first health score in a UI along with (1) data regarding how the first health score was computed, and (2) a set of one or more parameters for a user to modify how the health for the SMN is computed. After receiving from the user one or more modifications to at least one of the parameters, the health analytics manager computes a second health score for the SMN based on the modified set of parameters.
