"Overlay" SD-WAN Dashboard

The "Overlay" SD-WAN Dashboard has these parts:

  • The Overview view appears at the beginning of the dashboard.

    Helps identify issues immediately.

  • The Per Security Gateway view allows users to drill down to understand the root cause and take corrective action.

Variable

Description

1

Gateway Name

Shows the Security Gateway name as it is received from the Management Server.

Allows filtering by specific Security Gateways.

2

ISP Name

Shows the ISP name configured in Check Point Portal.

Allows filtering by specific ISPs.

3

Steering Policy UUID

Shows the steering policy UUID.

Allows filtering by specific steering policy IDs.

4

Steering Object (name)

Shows the steering object (behavior).

Allows filtering by specific Object names.

5

Gateway (peer_ip)

Shows the IP address of the Security Gateway's tunnel peer.

Allows filtering by specific peer IP addresses.

6

Gateway (main_peer_ip)

Shows the main IP address of the Security Gateway's remote peer.

Allows filtering by specific peer main IP addresses.

7

Gateway Counter

Shows the number of Security Gateways that will be presented in:

  • The "Number of Gateways Seen" in the "Link Swaps by GW"

  • "Current Gateways health score"

Total Gateways

This counter shows:

  • The total number of Security Gateways.

    This counter shows the data for the last 5 days.

  • How many Security Gateways are Up.

    This counter shows the data for the last 5 minutes.

  • How many Security Gateways are Down.

    This counter shows the difference:

    (The total number of Security Gateways) minus (Security Gateways are Up)

2

Overlay Tunnels - Up

Shows the number of tunnels that have the status "UP" on all the Security Gateways.

3

Overlay Tunnels - DOWN

Shows the number of tunnels that have the status "DOWN" on all the Security Gateways.

4

Gateway Overlay Health Score - Bottom 5

Shows the Security Gateway health score from 1 to 100.

The score is based on the quality of the probing values received on the Security Gateway.

The Security Gateways shown are the bottom <X> Security Gateways.

The number <X> is the value of the Security Gateway counter variable.

The default is 5.

5

Gateways by Overlay Tunnel status

Shows the worst Security Gateways tunnels status.

The color can change based on the status.

The status can be:

  • UP - All the Tunnels are "UP".

  • Some Down - At least one of the tunnels is "DOWN" and at least one is "UP".

  • DOWN - All the tunnels are "DOWN".

6

Tunnel status

Shows the percentage of "UP" tunnels for the top 10 Security Gateways with "DOWN" tunnels.

7

Gateway Overlay Health Score

This graph shows the Security Gateways score over time.

8

Link Swap

This graph shows the number of link swaps occurred over time.

Tunnels Status Table

Shows:

  • Hostname

  • Name of the ISP link

  • VPN source IP address

  • VPN peer IP address (the destination)

  • VPN state

  • Tunnel metrics (latency, jitter, and packet loss)

2

Tunnels Status (per GW > peer)

Shows the tunnel statuses over time.

3

Network Traffic | All

Shows the throughput of the available links over time.

4

VPN Overlay All | Tunnel MOS

Shows the MOS score from 1 to 5 of each of the tunnels over time.

A score greater than 4 means good quality.

This helps identify tunnel issues.

5

VPN Overlay All | Latency

Shows the latency measured on all the tunnels over time.

6

VPN Overlay All | Jitter

Shows the jitter measured on all the tunnels over time.

7

VPN Overlay All | Packet Loss

Shows the packet loss measured on all the tunnels over time.
