SDWAN

This manual guides the user through the steps required to use the SDWAN screen in Kognitive Cloud. The SDWAN screen can be accessed after selecting an individual site. It enables the user to view the key metrics of the different WAN interfaces associated with the devices in the site. Each device deployed in the site has different WAN interfaces depending upon their type. These WAN interfaces have different key metrics to measure their performance.

  • Click the SDWAN tab.

  • Select the Period from the dropdown menu. The available options are Last 15 min, Last 1 Hr, Last 6 Hr, Last 12 Hr, Last 1 Day, Last 7 Days, Last 30 Days and MTD (Month to Date).

  • The user can also select a custom time interval using the From and To fields.

  • Click the Interfaces field to open the dropdown menu. In this dropdown, the WAN interfaces associated with all the devices deployed in the site will be listed.

  • Select the required WAN interface.

  • In the Metrics field, select the required metrics from the dropdown menu. The metrics listed depend on the type of the selected WAN interfaces and the services enabled on the site. For example, the following metrics are available for a Starlink interface:

    • Link Uptime, Peak Rate Estimate, Latency & Jitter, Throughput

    • Clients, Usage, Site Availability, LAN Status

    • MPK Flows, MPK Speed, MPK Latency, MPK Status, MPK Probe Pass (for sites with MPK enabled)

    • Speedtest, Native Probe Pass, QOE

    Interface specific metrics are listed for the corresponding interface types, for example SINR and RSSI for Cellular interfaces and VSAT SNR, VSAT TX Power, VSAT Power and VSAT Symbol Rate for VSAT interfaces.

  • Select the chart interval (1m, 3m, 10m, 20m and so on) from the interval dropdown. The interval determines the granularity of the data points plotted in the chart. The available intervals depend on the selected Period.

  • The Site Availability of the selected site is also plotted on the chart along with the selected metrics.

  • Click the Download icon at the top right corner of the chart to download the chart data.

  • The performance of the device based on the selected metrics is shown in the format of a chart. The horizontal axis contains the time instances, and the vertical axis contains the metric values in their corresponding SI unit.

  • The graph between these two axes gives the user a clear understanding of how the device has performed during the selected time interval.

  • The Events table also lists all the events that are happening in the WAN interfaces. It shows information such as:

    • Timestamp – Date and Time of the event

    • Source – Source of the event

    • DID - Identification Number of the device

    • Level – Level of warning

    • Module – Module in which the event has occurred
