SD-WAN Monitoring History
FortiManager provides an option to collect and store SD-WAN Monitor data. Go to SD-WAN > Monitor > Table View to view the following drill-down data:
- Click each FortiGate device to view drill-down values for the particular device. The graphs available are Bandwidth Overview, Traffic Overview, Jitter, Latency, and Packet Loss.
- Click each application to view drill-down values for the particular application. The graphs available are Jitter, Latency, and Packet Loss.
By default, SD-WAN Monitoring History is disabled. When this feature is disabled, data for only the last 10 minutes is displayed. You can refresh to view the data directly from FortiGate devices. No historical data is stored in FortiManager when this feature is disabled.
You can enable the SD-WAN Monitoring history using the following command line:
config system admin setting
set sdwan-monitor-history enable
end
When this feature is enabled, you can view the SD-WAN Monitoring history in the following ways:
- SD-WAN Monitoring data can be viewed for the past 24, 12, 6, 1, and N hours.
- SD-WAN Monitoring history is stored in FortiManager for 8 days.
