Some embodiments provide a novel method for receiving a plurality of attribute sets from a set of host computers, each attribute set associated with a group of one or more flows that is created by using a key to associate individual flows into the group of flows. The appliance, in some embodiments, merges two identified attribute sets into one merged attribute set and analyzes the merged attribute set to identify a set of properties of the flows in the groups of flows associated with the two attribute sets. In some embodiments, a visualization process includes identifying machines as members of groups and identifying machines that are connected. The visualization process, in some embodiments, also generates a graphical user interface that can be used to select groups of machines, domains, or individual machines and displays contextual attributes relevant to the selected group, domain, or machine.

Presenting data regarding grouped flows

Some embodiments provide a method for visualizing a realization status of configuration changes for a set of logical entities of a logical network. The method generates a first presentation of a list of logical entities and a realization status for each logical entity in the list, where the realization status indicates whether all configuration changes for the logical entity have been realized. In response to a selection of a particular logical entity in the displayed list for which at least one configuration change has not been realized, the method generates a second presentation comprising a view of pending configuration changes for the selected particular logical entity.
