1. An apparatus, comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one memory including instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to at least:
determine, for a data center that includes a set of servers and that includes a data center network supporting communications for the set of servers, mapping information for a tenant of the data center, wherein the mapping information is indicative of a mapping of a network overlay connection of the tenant in the data center network to a set of network underlay connections of the data center network, wherein the network overlay connection of the tenant is between a first leaf switch of the data center network and a second leaf switch of the data center network, wherein the set of network underlay connections of the data center network includes a first network underlay connection between the first leaf switch and a first switch of the data center network and a second network underlay connection between the first leaf switch and a second switch of the data center network;
determine, based on the mapping information, a probe injection point in the data center network and a set of probe extraction points in the data center network, wherein the probe injection point is located on the first leaf switch and the set of probe extraction points is located on at least one of the first switch or the second switch; and
support, based on the probe injection point and the set of probe extraction points, probing of the data center network.
