Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices are described herein for modifying the monitoring of the health of a data center IP endpoint (such as VM) during live migration of the data center IP endpoint from a source host to a destination host. In one example, the described techniques may include receiving an indication that a virtual machine is going to be live migrated from a source host to a destination host. Next, evaluation of health probe responses originating from the virtual machine may be suspended for a time period. The time period may be selected based on the live migration. The evaluation of the probe responses originating from the virtual machine may be resumed upon completion of the time period. In some cases, a health probe status of the virtual machine may be migrated from the source host to the destination host.
