1. A method for generating a multi-layer network map from network configuration data, the method comprising:
receiving network configuration data that defines network components for a particular logical network that spans one or more datacenters, the particular logical network implemented on a shared physical network along with at least one other logical network;
based on the received network configuration data, generating a plurality of data layers for a multi-layer interactive map of the network, wherein different data layers include (1) a logical first network layer comprising logical network components in the particular logical network, and (2) a physical second network layer comprising physical network components that implement the logical network components of the first network layer; and
from the first and second data layers, generating first and second visual representations of the particular logical network and the shared physical network, the first visual representation displaying a set of logical network components and a set of links identifying physical network components that implement the set of logical network components.
