Abstract
Example methods are provided for performing a connectivity check for multi-node application(s) in a virtualized computing environment. The method may comprise identifying a group of multiple virtualized computing instances that implements multi-node application(s), the group including a first virtualized computing instance supported by the first host that requires connectivity with a second virtualized computing instance supported by the second host. The method may also comprise configuring the first host to generate and send a connectivity check packet to the second host; and based on report information from one or more entities along a path traversed by the connectivity check packet, determining a connectivity status associated with the first virtualized computing instance and the second virtualized computing instance.
