Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer readable media for packet monitoring in a virtual environment are disclosed. According to one method, the method occurs at a virtual tap controller implemented using at least one processor. The method includes sending, to a virtual tap in a virtual environment implemented using at least one computing platform, at least one summarization rule for generating summary packet information about packet traffic associated with the virtual environment. The method also includes receiving, from the virtual tap, the summary packet information generated using the at least one summarization rule. The method further includes generating, using the summary packet information, at least one processing rule for copying or forwarding packet data associated with the virtual environment and sending, to the virtual tap, the at least one processing rule.
