View Site Health Dashlet

Minimum supported release: Cisco vManage Release 20.10.1

You can view the overall health across all sites in the Site Health dashlet on the Monitor Overview dashboard.

The Site Health dashlet displays the health, which is calculated by the average Quality of Experience (QoE) across all sites. The site health depends on the health metrics of devices, tunnels, and applications at that site.

Starting from Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager Release 20.12.1, a bar graph displays the bandwidth usage information for each site, and changes in bandwidth from the last time period. You can filter the view based on health status using the drop-down list for Good Performing Sites, Fair Performing Sites, and Poor Performing Sites.

Click View Details to open the site table view window.

View Site Health in Table View

Minimum supported release: Cisco vManage Release 20.10.1

In the sites table view you can view the site health, tunnel health, device health, application health, and application usage.

The sites table view displays all the sites by default and the overall health scores for sites, devices, tunnels, and applications. The table also displays the application usage data for the last one hour.

Site Health Metrics

The average health metric of sites is calculated as follows:

Health

Condition

Good

All applications, WAN edge devices, and tunnels are in good state.

Fair

Any one application, WAN edge device, or tunnel in fair state.

Poor

Any one application, WAN edge device, or tunnel in poor state.

View Site Health in Heatmap View

Minimum supported release: Cisco vManage Release 20.10.1

In the heatmap view, the grid of colored squares displays the site health as Good, Fair, or Poor. You can hover over a square or click to display additional details of a site at a specific time.

Click View Details to view additional details for a rule. Click a device number in the Device Hits column to view the rules at a device level.

Cisco’s Enterprise Firewall with Application Awareness uses a flexible and easily understood zone-based model for data traffic inspection. Zone-based firewalls allow inspection of TCP, UDP, and ICMP data traffic. A zone can contain a group of one or more VPNs. Grouping VPNs into zones allows users to establish security boundaries in the overlay network so that users can control all data traffic that passes between zones.

A firewall policy defines the conditions that the data traffic flow from the source zone must match to allow the flow to the destination zone. Firewall policies can match IP prefixes, IP ports, the protocols TCP, UDP, and ICMP, and applications. Matching flows for prefixes, ports, and protocols can be accepted or dropped, and the packet headers can be logged.

Converged Dashboard for SD-WAN Analytics and SD-WAN Manager

Information About Converged Dashboard

Access the Converged Dashboard in Cisco SD-WAN Manager

From Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager Release 20.15.1, you can view a converged dashboard in Cisco SD-WAN Manager that displays data from both Cisco SD-WAN Analytics and Cisco SD-WAN Manager. To view the converged dashboard in Cisco SD-WAN Manager, onboard Cisco SD-WAN Analytics to Cisco SD-WAN Manager. For more information about onboarding Cisco SD-WAN Analytics into Cisco SD-WAN Manager, see Onboard Cisco SD-WAN Analytics.

If Cisco SD-WAN Analytics is onboarded to Cisco SD-WAN Manager, the Cloud Services option in the Administration > Settings is enabled automatically. This means that a converged dashboard is available in Cisco SD-WAN Manager.

View Cisco SD-WAN Analytics Data in Cisco SD-WAN Manager

When Cisco SD-WAN Analytics is enabled, the dashboard in Cisco SD-WAN Manager displays data from Cisco SD-WAN Analytics, including details on Applications, Circuits, Sites, and Clients through specific dashlets. You can click these dashlets for more detailed information instead of being redirected to Cisco SD-WAN Analytics.

View Reports in Converged Dashboard

All Applications Reports, which is a Cisco SD-WAN Analytics report, displays a view of how different applications are performing across an overlay for all sites. The Executive Summary report in the converged dashboard displays the same Executive Summary report as seen in the standalone Cisco SD-WAN Analytics when it is not part of the convergence. For more reports in Cisco SD-WAN Manager, see Information About Reports.

Applications Dashboard

The Applications dashboard displays information on how different applications are performing across an overlay for all sites, and for a single site. The Applications dashboard gives an overview of Application performance for all applications across an overlay and across all sites, and compares it to other metrics such as overall bandwidth and bandwidth increase.

The Applications dashboard presents the performance metrics in these widgets:

  • Application Experience

  • Application Trend Analysis

  • QoE Distribution by Application Classes, and

  • Trending Applications

For more information about the Applications dashboard, see Application Dashboard in Cisco SD-WAN Analytics.


Note

The Applications dashboard displays Cisco SD-WAN Analytics data only when viewed on a converged dashboard.

Sites Dashboard

The Sites dashboard provides visibility into site availability and usage across the entire network for the selected time period. The Sites page helps you to view the performance of applications on the overlay from a site perspective. It provides the ability to view overlay performance in terms of sites and provides insights into site performance in terms of availability, utilization and latency, and compares these parameters with the corresponding metrics from the previous time period.

For more information about Sites analytics, see Site Dashboard in Cisco SD-WAN Analytics.

Circuits Dashboard

The Circuits dashboard provides valuable insights into circuit availability, utilization, and network performance. It offers a comprehensive overview of circuit performance across the entire fabric as well as for individual sites.

For more information about Circuits analytics, see Circuits Dashboard in Cisco SD-WAN Analytics.

Client Dashlet

The Clients dashlet displays the top clients of data in the overlay, the current usage of data and the changes in the usage of data from the last time period. The top clients are tracked by using respective client IP addresses in the overlay network. The dashlet also displays the top five applications that are used by the clients, and the data is ranked by bandwidth.


Note

The Clients dashlet is not available by default. To view the Clients dashlet, you must add the dashlet. For more information about adding dashlets, see Add a Dashlet.
