Summary:In one embodiment, a method is provided service aware conditional path monitoring. The method includes determining, for a network that includes a plurality of nodes, which particular nodes of the plurality of nodes forward traffic associated with a service. The method involves identifying relevant forwarding instructions within the particular nodes that are used to forward traffic for the service. The method further includes configuring the particular nodes to perform monitoring of traffic with a higher priority given to the relevant forwarding instructions than other forwarding instructions on the particular nodes. Monitoring results are obtained from the monitoring of traffic on the particular nodes on the relevant forwarding instructions. The monitoring results are analyzed to determine assurance of the service in the network.
