Some embodiments provide a method for identifying a realization status of one or more logical entities of a logical network. In some embodiments the method is implemented by a controller that controls network data communications in a logical network. The method receives a request for realization status of a set of logical entities at a particular point of time that is associated with a particular value of a realization number. The method determines whether configuration data up to the particular point of time for each logical entity in the set has been processed and distributed to a set of local controllers that operates on a set of host machines. The method returns a realization reply that includes a successful realization message when the configuration data up to the particular point in time for each logical entity in the set has been processed and distributed to the set of local controllers.
For a controller of a central controller cluster that controls network data communications in one or more logical networks, a method for identifying a realization status of one or more logical entities of a logical network, the method comprising:
A non-transitory machine readable medium storing a controller application of a central controller cluster that controls network data communications in one or more logical networks, the controller application executable by at least one processing unit, the controller application comprising sets of instructions for:
