Abstract: The subject disclosure relates to methods for monitoring virtual network functions (VNFs) using mirror-ports provided on a virtual switch. A method of the technology can include steps for detecting an instantiation of a virtual network function (VNF), receiving a plurality of operating parameters for the VNF, connecting the VNF with a virtual switch, and automatically discovering an Internet Protocol (IP) address of the VNF. In some aspects, the method can further include operations for instantiating a mirror-port on the virtual switch, the mirror-port configured to provide a communications interface for monitoring the VNF based on a monitoring parameter. Systems and computer-readable media are also provided.
