Creating SD-WAN Site Performance Report Definitions

Use the SD-WAN Report Definitions page to create SD-WAN site performance report definitions for specific sites of a tenant and generate the report based on the definitions.

SD-WAN site performance reports enable you to analyze site performance based on the following parameters that measure the SLA performance of specific sites in a tenant:

  • Top 10 applications and link utilization for site

  • Top profiles not meeting SLA

  • Top profiles switching links

  • Top applications by highest packet loss

  • Top applications by highest latency

  • Top applications by highest jitter

  • SLA performance between two sites

Note:

Only users with the Tenant Administrator role can create SD-WAN site performance report definitions.

To create an SD-WAN site performance report definition:

  1. Select Reports > Report Definitions > SD-WAN.

    The SD-WAN Report Definitions page appears.

  2. Click Add > Site Performance.

    The Add SD-WAN Site Performance Report Definition page appears.

  3. Complete the configuration according to the guidelines provided in Table 1.
    Note:

    Fields marked with * are mandatory.

  4. Click OK to save the report definition.

    The report definition is saved and the SD-WAN Report Definition page appears.

    A confirmation message appears on top of this page.

If you select Custom, the From and To fields appear:

  • From—Specify the start date and time from which the report should be generated.

  • To—Specify the end date and time up to which the report should be generated.

Number of Top Logs

Enter the number of top SLA events (1 through 20) that you want to retrieve and display for each section in the report.

Sites

Select one or more sites for which you want to generate the report. You can select up to five sites.

Report Content

Select the content that you want to view in the report.

  • Top 10 Applications and Link Utilization—Displays a report on top 10 applications and link utilization for the selected sites.

  • Top Profiles Not Meeting SLA—Displays a report on top SLA profiles not meeting SLA for the selected sites.

  • Top Profiles Switching Links—Displays a report on top SLA profiles switching links for the selected sites.

  • Top Applications by Highest Packet Loss—Displays report on top 10 applications based on the selected site that has the highest average packet loss across SLA profiles.

  • Top Applications by Highest Latency—Displays report on top 10 applications based on the selected site that has the highest average latency across SLA profiles.

  • Total Applications by Highest Jitter—Displays report on top 10 applications based on the selected site that has the highest average jitter across SLA profiles.

  • SLA Performance Between Two Sites—Displays report on top 20 applications based on the performance of SLA parameters (latency, jitter, and packet loss) between the source and destination site that you have selected.

For more information about SLA parameters and dynamic mesh tunnels, see Traffic Steering Profiles and SD-WAN Policies Overview and Dynamic Mesh Tunnels Overview.

Sites

Select one or more sites, from the list of available sites, for which you want to generate the report.

Schedule

Schedule Report Generation

Click Add Schedule to schedule the report generation.

The Add Report Schedule page appears.

Specify whether you want to generate the report immediately or schedule it for a later date and time:

  • Run now—Select this option to schedule the report generation at the current time, and click OK.

  • Schedule at a later time—Select this option to schedule the report generation for a later date and time (in MM/DD/YYYY and HH:MM:SS formats), and click OK.

The Add SD-WAN Tenant Performance Report Definition page appears with details of the report generation schedule.
