Abstract
Example methods and systems for health check as a service are described. One example may involve a computer system receiving a request to perform a health check for a network environment that includes a set of multiple flows. The computer system may select a subset that includes (a) a first flow between a first pair of endpoints and (b) a second flow between a second pair of endpoints. The health check may be initiated for the first flow and the second flow by generating and sending (a) a first instruction to cause injection of a first health check packet, and (b) a second instruction to cause injection of a second health check packet. The computer system may determine health status information associated with the subset based on (a) first observation information triggered by the first health check packet, and (b) second observation information triggered by the second health check packet.
