Some embodiments provide a method for collecting data regarding realized state associated with a logical network spanning multiple physical sites. At a global manager that manages a logical network, the method receives a request to collect realized state for a set of one or more logical network elements, each of which spans a set of two or more physical sites. Each physical site is managed by a local manager. For each of the logical network elements, the method identifies the set of physical sites spanned by the logical network element. For each of the logical network elements, the method sends requests for realized state of the logical network element to the local manager of each identified physical site spanned by the logical network element. The method generates a report for presentation from the realized states received from the local managers.
A method for collecting data regarding realized state associated with a logical network spanning a plurality of physical sites, the method comprising:
A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing a global manager program which when executed by at least one processing unit collects data regarding realized state associated with a logical network spanning a plurality of physical sites, the global manager program comprising sets of instructions for:
