    • Reachability status—Number of VOS devices reachable through ping or SSH from the Director node.
    • Service status—Number of VOS devices whose services are running in a good state.
    • Interfaces—Number of VOS device LAN and WAN interfaces whose status is up and down.
    • BGP adjacencies—Number of BGP adjacencies in the established, connect, and idle state.
    • IKE status—Number of IKE connections in the up and down state.
    • Paths—Number of paths in the up and down state.
  • Policy Violations— Total number of packets that have violated a device policy in the following categories:
    • Packet drop no valid available link
    • Packet drop attributed to SLA violation
    • Packet forward attributed to SLA violation

The Summary dashboard displays the following information:

  • Device information—Device name, location, and access status.
  • CPE Interfaces—Traffic across interfaces.
  • SD-WAN Application Traffic—Real-time traffic monitoring of ingress and egress traffic over multiple ports.
  • Recent Events—Alarms generated on the device.
  • Health Monitor—Summary of the network connectivity and device status of the associated Director node.
  • Policy Violations—Traffic violations that have occurred for a device in the organization.
  • Application Activity—Top 10 most-utilized applications on the device. You can display the remaining applications in the detailed view.

CPE Interfaces

The CPE Interfaces pane displays a live graph that shows the live traffic bandwidth on multiple ports, either for all traffic or only SD-WAN traffic. Data traffic is fetched from the device every two seconds.

The dashboard displays:

  • Interface name
  • Network name
  • Service provider
  • Status of the link and cloud reachability.
  • Live data indicator—When enabled, live traffic is show
  • Bandwidth—Configured and measured, in Mbps

To measure bandwidth:

SD-WAN Application Traffic

Monitoring live application and rule traffic allows you to display any priority application traffic terminating on any access circuits at a site. It also allows you to select the remote branch or remote circuits for the rule or application. This pane displays the SD-WAN application traffic (uplink and downlink) for the selected remote branch, circuits, and rule.
