SD-WAN monitoring improvements

SD-WAN Monitor now includes information about ADVPN shortcut interfaces for monitoring SD-WAN networks. When device history monitoring is enabled for SD-WAN Monitor, the device history also includes information about ADVPN shortcut interfaces.

Monitoring SD-WAN interfaces (without shortcuts)

When an SD-WAN network is configured without ADVPN shortcuts, no shortcut information is displayed on VPN Monitor and on the graphs on SD-WAN Monitor.

In this example, device history monitoring is disabled for SD-WAN Monitor.

To view VPN monitor:

1. Go to Device Manager > Monitors > VPN Monitor.

   The VPN Monitor is displayed. No shortcuts are configured.

   

To view SD-WAN monitor:

1. Disable device history monitoring by using the following command:

   config system admin setting

   set sdwan-monitor-history disable

   end

2. Go to Device Manager > Monitors > SD-WAN Monitor.

   The SD-WAN Monitor is displayed.

3. In the toolbar, click Table View.

   Table View is displayed.

4. In the Device column, click a device.

   SD-WAN monitoring information for the last 10 minutes for the device is displayed. In the SD-WAN Interfaces section, you can view interfaces.

   

   Scroll down to view SLA information, such as latency, jitter, and packet loss.

   

Monitoring SD-WAN interfaces (with shortcuts)

When an SD-WAN network is configured to use ADVPN shortcuts, you can view information about the shortcuts on VPN Monitor and in graphs on SD-WAN Monitor.

In this example, device history monitoring is enabled for SD-WAN Monitor.

To view shortcut information on VPN monitor:

1. Go to Device Manager > Monitors > VPN Monitor.

   The VPN Monitor is displayed. Shortcuts are configured.

   

To view shortcut information on SD-WAN monitor:

1. Enable device history monitoring by using the following command:

   config system admin setting

   set sdwan-monitor-history enable

   end

2. Go to Device Manager > Monitors > SD-WAN Monitor.

   The SD-WAN Monitor is displayed.

3. In the toolbar, click Table View.

   Table View is displayed.

4. In the Device column, click a device.

   SD-WAN monitoring information for the device is displayed. You can choose the length of history to display. In the SD-WAN Interfaces section, you can view interfaces, including ADVPN shortcuts.

   

   Scroll down to view SLA information, such as latency, jitter, and packet loss, for each interface. The SLA graphs include information for dynamic interfaces.
