Introduces the Application Catalog and outlines how to view, create, and curate applications, add cloud-sourced entries via Cloud Software as a Service feeds and Kubernetes cluster discovery, enable Operational Technology protocol recognition, and configure Zone-Based Firewall policies, along with supported platforms, prerequisites, restrictions, verification steps, and monitoring workflows.
Feature history for application catalog
Provides an overview of the Application Catalog feature and related capabilities, including Kubernetes cluster discovery and monitoring, cloud SaaS feeds, and cloud-sourced applications, with release information and descriptions for each capability.
Application catalog
Describes the application catalog in Cisco SD-WAN Manager that provides visibility and control of applications in a Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN environment and uses Cisco SD-AVC for cloud-sourced updates and application coverage.
Prerequisites for application catalog
Outlines the prerequisites to use the application catalog, including enabling SD-AVC and optionally the SD-AVC Cloud Connector. Consider release differences where services are enabled by default on cloud-hosted fabrics.
Restrictions for application catalog
Outlines restrictions that affect the Application Catalog, including NBAR inspection and applicability, constraints for cloud-sourced applications with Cloud Connector, and Kubernetes integration limits such as supported providers and capacity for custom applications, rules, and server names.
View applications
Provides instructions for viewing all applications associated with your cloud account in vManage, including navigating the Application Catalog and filtering the list using application attributes.
Configure custom applications
Configure custom applications in Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN by using the Application Catalog to enter names, server identifiers, families, groups, traffic classes, business relevance, IPs, ports, protocols, and SaaS probe endpoints, then save. Verify you can export the application list to Applications.csv for reuse.
Export application list
Provides instructions for exporting the application list as a CSV file and explains how to use custom applications with policy groups and centralized policies in Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN.
Add cloud-sourced applications to the application catalog
Configure the application catalog in SD-WAN Manager by selecting cloud-sourced applications and applying them. Address any policy conflicts when prompted, either fixing them or deferring, to ensure the catalog includes the intended cloud-sourced entries.
Configure an application list
Configure an application list in the Application Catalog to create or update a list of applications or families. Configure filters to find default or custom lists and prepare entries for use in Policy Group–based policies.
Enable Kubernetes clusters for cloud-based deployment
Configure Kubernetes cluster discovery in vManage by enabling a cloud account or manually uploading a kubeconfig in Application Catalog. This allows services and applications on your clusters to be discovered and viewed for further application management.
Enable manual discovery of Kubernetes clusters
Details the process for manually enabling Kubernetes cluster discovery by uploading a kubeconfig file, viewing cluster status, accessing discovered services and applications, and creating custom applications as needed.
Configure a Cloud SaaS feed in Cisco SD-WAN Manager
Configure a Cloud SaaS feed in SD-WAN Manager to control how applications are classified using cloud-provided feeds. This procedure navigates to Application Source Settings and enables or disables a feed for the application you select.
Monitor kubernetes clusters and services
Verify Kubernetes cluster and service status in Application Catalog by navigating from vManage to the relevant tabs and reviewing tables. Verify discovery information for clusters and monitoring details for applications to confirm visibility of operational data.
Monitor cloud SaaS feeds
Verify cloud SaaS feed details in Cisco SD-WAN Manager by navigating to Application Source Settings and opening the View Feeds page. This helps you review feed information captured from configured application sources.
