Systems and Methods for Determining a Network Path Trace

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by a network orchestrator, trace parameters from a user device, wherein the trace parameters are associated with an application;
• determining, by the network orchestrator, to initiate a network path trace for the application;
• generating, by the network orchestrator, a filter policy for the network path trace using the trace parameters;
• allocating, by the network orchestrator, a trace identification to the network path trace;
• initiating, by the network orchestrator, the network path trace within a network by communicating the filter policy and the trace identification to a first node of the network;
• receiving, by the network orchestrator, network path trace data from a plurality of nodes of the network, wherein the plurality of nodes of the network comprises the first node;
• and
• generating, by the network orchestrator, a trace report for the application using the network path trace data.

One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• receiving trace parameters from a user device, wherein the trace parameters are associated with an application;
• determining to initiate a network path trace for the application;
• generating a filter policy for the network path trace using the trace parameters;
• allocating a trace identification to the network path trace;
• initiating the network path trace within a network by communicating the filter policy and the trace identification to a first node of the network;
• receiving network path trace data from a plurality of nodes of the network, wherein the plurality of nodes of the network comprises the first node;
• and
• generating a trace report for the application using the network path trace data.
