Versa Secure Private Access (VSPA) connects users to private applications securely, regardless of location or hosting environment. User devices and Versa Operating SystemTM (VOSTM) devices forward VSPA statistics to Versa Analytics.

You can view charts, tables and maps about VSPA activities from Secure Access dashboards in Concerto. For each tenant, you can view information about the following:

  • VSPA Overview—Successful and failed login attempts, active users, and dashboards for statistics.
  • Users—VSPA client user statistics based on usage, events, and registry.
  • Digital Experience Monitoring—(For Releases 12.1.1 and later.) Information about the end-to-end network and application experience for each user device.  
  • Site-to-Site Tunnels—Tunnels that are up or down, tunnel status, top tunnels by bandwidth.
  • Routes—Route details such as destination, state, protocol, and real-time performance monitoring (RPM).

Secure Access Dashboard Parameters

For many Secure Access dashboards, you can select parameters to do the following:

  • Define the dashboard data source.
  • Limit output to a single device.
  • Define the time frame for dashboard maps, charts, and statistics.

To select dashboard parameters, go to View > Dashboard > Secure Access, and then select values from the following drop-down lists:

  • In the first drop-down list, select a DCA complex to use its Analytics cluster as the data source.
    For Releases 11.4.1 and later, you can select an aggregator cluster in this menu to view combined data from multiple DCA complexes.
  • In the second drop-down list, select an individual VOS device (appliance) to display data for the device. By default, data for all appliances displays.
  • In the third drop-down list, select the time frame for the display.

View Digital Experience Monitoring Information

You can enable Digital Experience Monitoring (DEM) on secure access client devices to periodically monitor end-to-end network and application performance for the devices. When DEM is enabled on a device, secure access clients collect the following metrics for a user device:

  • Device memory, CPU, disk utilization, and battery life
  • WiFi signal strength, and transmit and receive bandwidth per SSID
  • Local network segment metrics such as delay, jitter, and packet loss
  • Internet segment metrics such as delay, jitter, and loss, both end-to-end and for each hop level
  • Application metrics, including DNS lookup time, TCP and SSL connect times, HTTP latency, time to first and last byte, delay, jitter, and packet loss to application server.

The client device sends these metrics to Versa Analytics, which uses them to derive an experience rank value that ranges from 1 through 100. A value of 1 represents the best experience for the user’s device and applications, and a value of 100 represents the worst experience. Versa Analytics also provides in-depth information about the experience at the tenant, gateway, device, and application levels.

To view the DEM information, select View > Dashboard > Secure Access > Digital Experience.

The Secure Access Digital Experience dashboard displays the following tabs:

  • Overview
  • Users
  • Applications

DEM Overview

To view DEM overview information, select View > Dashboard > Secure Access > Digital Experience > Overview.

  • Local Issues
  • WiFI Issues
  • Internet Issues
  • Application Issues
