Abstract

A method and system is provided for implementing service chain measurement and monitoring in a client management tool. A central monitor establishes a performance threshold for two or more components forming a service chain. One or more management templates, corresponding to the performance threshold, are issued to the components for monitoring. If the performance fails to meet the performance threshold, an indication of the failure is provided to a computer system operator.
