Monitoring the Network

The dashboard map offers a unified at-a-glance view of your network topology, including a summary of the established tunnels, tunnels that need attention, sites under construction, and new events. It also provides continuous automatic monitoring of network events and site status.

The Google Map displays the sites within an organization.

The dashboard displays the tunnels in the full-mesh network after you click a site marker.

Path quality reports metrics on established and functional tunnels, throughput, and path quality. For details, see Monitoring path quality.

•Green line - Indicates that the VPN tunnel is successfully established.

•Red dashed line - Indicates that the VPN tunnel can’t be established or is down.

•Gray dashed line - Indicates that the VPN tunnel is under construction.

You can monitor the real-time status of your sites along with the appliance status from the dashboard.

You can also monitor path quality metrics if you’re using path selection. For details, see Monitoring path quality.

The site’s tunnel status, appliance status, and location appear:

•Green - SCM measures the AutoVPN health of a site as a whole. As long as there is one AutoVPN tunnel from that site to another, it shows a green check mark for the site status. Green indicates that some or all tunnels associated with the site are established.

•Gray - A gray dashed icon indicates that the site is under construction. This includes:

–sites that are in the process of being defined within SCM, but are not yet live with actual appliances

•Red - A red icon indicates that there is a problem with the site.

•If the city for a site is invalid, a purple question mark appears in an ocean on the dashboard map.

–Click the marker to view the invalid address. Click the invalid address to go to the Location tab where you can fix the city.

To return to the dashboard, click the site marker again.
