Abstract:
Some embodiments provide a method for troubleshooting a virtual network that is implemented across a plurality of computing devices. The method provides a command line interface (CLI) for receiving and executing commands for debugging and monitoring the virtual network. Each command is for communicating with a set of the computing devices in order to monitor a network service being provided by the set of computing devices. The CLI operates in multiple different contexts for monitoring multiple different types of network services. While the CLI is operating in a particular context for a particular type of network service, the method receives a command comprising a set of identifiers. The method determines the validity of the received command under the particular context. When the received command is valid under the particular context, the method transmits data to a computing device identified by the received command.
