发明名称 Virtual packet analyzer for a cloud computing environment
摘要 A device, of a cloud computing environment, receives an instruction to create a virtual packet analyzer from a user device associated with a user. The device creates the virtual packet analyzer in the device based on the instruction, and receives a packet provided in a portion of the cloud computing environment associated with the user. The virtual packet analyzer determines information associated with the packet, and determines whether to duplicate the packet based on the information. The virtual packet analyzer processes the packet based on whether the packet is to be duplicated. A duplicate packet of the packet is generated when it is determined that the packet is to be duplicated, and is transmitted to another device to identify or resolve a problem within the portion. The packet is transmitted to a destination of the packet when it is determined that the packet is not to be duplicated.

主权项 1. A method, comprising: receiving, by a device and from a user device, problem information associated with a portion of a cloud computing environment associated with a user of the user device, the problem information indicating a first address for a resource associated with a problem occurring within the portion of the cloud computing environment,the resource being provided in the portion of the cloud computing environment; receiving, by the device and from the user device associated with the user, an instruction to create a virtual packet analyzer in the device, until the problem is resolved, the device being provided in the cloud computing environment,the instruction including information identifying a type of virtual packet analyzer selected by the user via the user device, the type of virtual packet analyzer being selected, by the user, from one of a virtual packet sniffer or a virtual network analyzer; creating, by the device, the virtual packet analyzer in the device based on the instruction; receiving, by the virtual packet analyzer of the device, a packet, the packet being provided in the portion of the cloud computing environment associated with the user; analyzing, by the virtual packet analyzer of the device, the packet based on one or more of a standard, a rule, a policy, or a specification; determining, by the virtual packet analyzer of the device, information associated with the packet, based on analyzing the packet, the information associated with the packet including a second address for a destination of the packet; determining, by the virtual packet analyzer of the device, whether to duplicate the packet based on whether the second address included in the information associated with the packet matches the first address included in the problem information, the information associated with the packet being separate from the problem information; processing, by the virtual packet analyzer of the device, the packet based on whether the packet is to be duplicated, a duplicate packet of the packet being generated when it is determined that the packet is to be duplicated, the duplicate packet being transmitted to another device to identify or resolve the problem occurring within the portion of the cloud computing environment, andthe packet being transmitted to the destination of the packet when it is determined that the packet is not to be duplicated; and removing, by the device, the virtual packet analyzer from the device when the problem is resolved.
