Abstract:
Configurable probe blocks for system monitoring are disclosed. Example apparatus disclosed herein include a processor to perform operations including enabling, based on a value of a control word, a first probe input of a probe block, the first probe input mapped to a source of monitored network traffic in a software defined network. Disclosed example apparatus also include configuring, based on the value of the control word, a first trigger condition of the probe block to evaluate the monitored network traffic to determine whether the monitored network traffic has a first characteristic. Disclosed example apparatus further include configuring, based on the value of the control word, a first probe output of the probe block to output a result of the monitored network traffic being evaluated according to the first trigger condition, the first probe output to output the result to a network application of the software defined network.

Claim (Index 1):
An apparatus to monitor a software defined network, the apparatus comprising:\n memory including computer readable instructions; and a processor to execute the computer readable instructions to perform operations including:\n enabling, based on a value of a control word, a first probe input of a set of probe inputs of a probe block, the first probe input mapped to a source of monitored network traffic in the software defined network; \n configuring, based on the value of the control word, a first trigger condition of a set of trigger conditions of the probe block to evaluate the monitored network traffic accessible via the first probe input to determine whether the monitored network traffic has a first characteristic; and \n configuring, based on the value of the control word, a first probe output of a set of probe outputs of the probe block to output a result of the monitored network traffic being evaluated according to the first trigger condition, the first probe output to output the result to a network application of the software defined network.
