Abstract

A method for providing network performance monitoring using a performance database manager (PDM) is disclosed. A PDM has a PDM state manager, a communications server (COM server), a communications client (COM client), and an application database (AppDB). The PDM is configured to communicate with a network controller and a switch running a service monitoring (SERMON) client. A list of one or more switches, one or more hosted services, and one or more applications is determined. A request for service monitoring (SERMON) data is received from one or more applications running on a network controller. The request is sent to a SERMON client. A response is received from the SERMON client.
