CENTRALIZED TROUBLESHOOTING TOOL IN DISTRIBUTED VIRTUAL NETWORK
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving one troubleshooting inquiry for a logical resource (LR) that spans a plurality of physical endpoints (PEs) in a network;
for each PE of the plurality of PEs, transmitting a command to the PE based on the received troubleshooting inquiry and receiving a response from the PE; and
gathering information relevant to the troubleshooting inquiry from the responses of the different PEs and presenting gathered information in one visual arrangement.

Abstract
A novel centralized troubleshooting tool that enables user to troubleshoot a distributed virtual network with a single consistent user interface is provided. The distributed virtual network being monitored or debugged by the centralized troubleshooting tool includes different types of logical resources (LRs) that placed or distributed across different physical endpoints (PEs). The centralized troubleshooting tool provides functions that allow the user to invoke commands on different physical endpoints in order to collect information about the logical resources running in those physical endpoints. This allows the user to compare and analyze the information from different PEs for a same LR.
