A method of generating a network topology map in a datacenter comprising a network manager server and a set of host machines is provided. Each host machine hosts a set of data compute nodes (DCNs). The method receives information regarding the configuration of each of a set of logical networks from the network manager server. Each logical network is connected to several DCNs. The method identifies logical connections configured between the DCNs using the configuration of the overlay networks. The method generates a network topology map based on the identified logical configuration. The network topology identifies the DCNs that are connected to each overlay network. The method displays the network topology map on a graphical user interface.

Some embodiments provide a method for presenting packets captured in a network. The method identifies a first set of packets from a first packet group of multiple captured packet groups. The method identifies a second set of packets, that corresponds to the first set of packets, from a second packet group of the multiple captured packet groups. The method displays representations of the multiple captured packet groups. At least one of the first set of packets and the second set of packets are presented with a different appearance from other packets of their respective packet group.

Analysis of simultaneous multi-point packet capture and display of the analysis

Some embodiments provide a method for performing a multi-point capture of packets in a network. The method identifies multiple nodes for the multi-point capture in the network. The method configures each node of the multiple nodes to capture a set of packets. The method receives multiple captured packet sets from the multiple nodes. The method analyzes the multiple captured packet sets.
