Monitor Operational Status of Cloud OnRamp for Colocation Devices from Cisco vManage
Monitoring colocation devices is the process of reviewing and analyzing a device, such as Cloud Services Platform (CSP) devices and Cisco Colo Manager for health, inventory, availability, and other operation-related processes. You can also monitor the components of CSP devices such as CPU, memory, fan, temperature, and so on. For more information about the Cisco vManage Monitoring screens, see the Cisco SD-WAN Configuration Guides configuration guides.
All notifications are sent to the Cisco vManage notification stream. To use the notification stream command, see Cisco SD-WAN Command Reference.
Procedure
Step 1 |
From the Cisco vManage menu, choose . Cisco vManage Release 20.6.x and earlier: From the Cisco vManage menu, choose . If Cisco vManage can’t reach the CSP devices and Cisco Colo Manager (CCM) cannot reach the switches, the CSP devices and CCM are shown as unreachable. |
Step 2 |
Click a CSP device or a switch from the list by clicking the hostname. By default, the VNF Status window appears. |
Step 3 |
Click Select Device and to filter the search results for devices, use the Filter option in the search bar. The following are the categories of information about the device that are displayed:

Step 4 |
To monitor colocation clusters, from the Cisco vManage menu, choose and click Colocation Cluster. Cisco vManage Release 20.6.x and earlier: To monitor colocation clusters, from the Cisco vManage menu, choose and click Colocation Clusters. |
Step 5 |
Click the desired cluster name. See Monitor Cloud onRamp Colocation Clusters for more information. |

Description |
---|---|---|
Packet Capture for Cloud onRamp Colocation Clusters |
Cisco IOS XE Release 17.7.1a Cisco SD-WAN Release 20.7.1 Cisco vManage Release 20.7.1 |
This feature lets you capture packets at either the physical network interface card (PNIC) level or the virtual network interface card (VNIC) level on a Cloud Services Platform (CSP) device of a colocation cluster. You can capture packets on one or more PNIC or VNIC on the same device or different devices with different browsers at the same time. This feature lets you gather information about the packet format, and helps in application analysis, security, and troubleshooting. |
You can capture packets flowing to, through, and from a CSP device of a colocation cluster. You can capture packets at either the PNIC or the VNIC level on the CSP device.
Supported Ports for Packet Capture for Cloud onRamp Colocation Clusters
Packet capture is supported for the following ports:
Mode |
VNIC Level |
PNIC Level |
---|---|---|
Single Tenancy |
OVS-DPDK, HA-OVS-DPDK, SR-IOV, OVS-MGMT |
SR-IOV, MGMT |
Multitenancy (Role-Based Access Control) |
OVS-DPDK, HA-OVS-DPDK, OVS-MGMT |
