Abstract
Techniques for automatically orchestrating routes configured to track behind-the-service endpoints executing in association with service endpoint devices in a service chain. A network controller may be utilized to override a tracker IP address for each HA pair in a service, allowing customers to configure the tracker IP address to be provisioned behind a service they wish to track, such that packets containing the tracker IP address will be forced to go through the service itself, allowing the network to gauge a status of the service (e.g., up, down, etc.). The network controller may be configured to automatically orchestrate a route that causes packets addressed to a service endpoint device hosting a service through an outgoing interface of the endpoint device, into the service, and to a behind-the-service IP address. These techniques may be utilized with tunnel connected services and/or services connected over physical interface(s) (e.g., IPv4 and/or IPv6).
