Abstract
Some embodiments provide a method that performs a packet tracing operation for a particular data flow between endpoints of a logical network to generate a representation of logical network components along a path between the endpoints. In response to a selection of at least two of the logical network components, the method automatically generates separate packet capture operations for execution by physical components that implement each of the selected logical network components. The method uses packet header information to correlate packet data from the separate packet capture operations.
