Abstract
A method comprising: at a management entity configured to communicate with a network: upon detecting a performance problem on a network path in the network, generating a trigger probe having a correlation identifier, the trigger probe configured to transit the network path and, on one or more designated network nodes of the network path, trigger (i) capturing a full device state, including a control plane state and a data plane state, and (ii) exporting a report of the full device state with the correlation identifier; sending the trigger probe along the network path; receiving, from each of the one or more designated network nodes, the report that includes the correlation identifier and the full device state; and correlating each report to the performance problem based on the correlation identifier in each report, to diagnose a root cause of the performance problem using the full device state in each report.
