A method and system for centralized network multicast state publication. Specifically, in overcoming the limitation(s) of existing monitoring and/or reporting approaches to ascertaining network multicast state, embodiments disclosed herein deliver a solution for centralized network multicast state publication. To that end, embodiments disclosed herein employ a centralized network controller configured to obtain aggregated network state, including network multicast state, through embedded logical agents interspersed across a network (e.g., on each network device). Thereafter, the network multicast state may be published through one or many notification channel(s) to any number of subscribing consumers interested in the network multicast state. Furthermore, the notification channel(s) may be implemented using an open-source, distributed, in-memory database that also features a message queuing (or messaging) system. Specifically, the network multicast state (or varying contexts thereof) may be packaged as message(s) (or notification(s)) and thus published to any subscribing consumer(s) through the appropriate notification channel(s).
