INTERACTION WITH A VIRTUAL NETWORK

摘要

Systems and method for the management of virtual machine instances are provided. A network data transmission analysis system can host virtual machine networks. A component of a hosted virtual machine network is configured in a manner to receive commands directed towards a simulated network device. The component may then execute a process or processes on the hosted virtual machine network which correspond to the received command.

1. A method of monitoring activity on a virtual network, comprising:
receiving a client command, wherein the received command is directed towards retrieving, from a specified logical component of the virtual network, information corresponding to a specified activity of the specified logical component during a specified period of time, and wherein functionality of the specified logical component is implemented by one or more components of a substrate network without instantiating the specified logical component on the virtual network; identifying one or more components of the substrate network which cause implementation of functionality attributable to the specified activity during at least a portion of the specified period of time; causing execution of a set of processes by the identified one or more components in order to retrieve the information corresponding to the specified activity, wherein the set of processes are directed towards receiving activity information from each of the identified one or more components during at least a portion of the specified period of time; receiving from the identified one or more components a set of process results responsive to the execution of the set of processes; and creating, based at least in part on the set of process results, a client result in response to the received client command.
