Various embodiments include one or more of systems, methods, and software to provide a status of a logical entity between entity models in network management systems, such as for fault isolation, in an efficient manner. Some embodiments, when receiving requests for a status of a logical entity while already in the process of determining the status in response to a previously received request, include adding an identifier of the subsequent requestor to a status requestor list and not responding to or taking any further action with regard to the request from the subsequent requestor until the status in response to the first received status request is determined.
