Verify AppQoE DRE optimization metrics and traffic or application monitoring in Cisco SD-WAN Manager by accessing device views and On-Demand Troubleshooting, enabling dashboards, and selecting roles, chart modes, and time ranges to analyze controller or service node performance.

This task enables you to monitor AppQoE Data Redundancy Elimination (DRE) optimization metrics and view optimized traffic or applications for devices managed through Cisco SD-WAN Manager.

You can monitor the traffic or applications optimized by DRE using Cisco SD-WAN Manager.

From Cisco vManage Release 20.9.x, you can use On-Demand Troubleshooting to monitor traffic or applications optimized by DRE.

From the Cisco SD-WAN Manager menu, choose Tools > On Demand Troubleshooting. Enable On-demand Troubleshooting to view the dashboards. The dashboard screens do not display real-time information. You can retrieve DPI statistics by selecting the device from the drop-down menu and choosing the Data Type as DPI.

Before you begin

To view the AppQoE DRE data on Cisco SD-WAN Manager, ensure that you:

  • Synchronize the controller and device time by configuring Network Time Protocol (NTP). You can also set the clock manually using the clock set command.

  • Add these commands to the device configuration:

    • policy ip visibility features multi-sn enable

    • policy ip visibility features DRE enable

    • policy ip visibility features sslproxy enable (for SSL traffic)

Follow these steps to monitor AppQoE DRE data in Cisco SD-WAN Manager:

Procedure

  1. From the Cisco SD-WAN Manager menu, choose Monitor > Devices.

    Cisco vManage Release 20.6.1 and earlier releases: From the Cisco SD-WAN Manager menu, choose Monitor > Network.

  2. Click the hostname of the device you want to monitor.

  3. Under On-Demand Troubleshooting, choose AppQoE DRE Optimization.

    Enable On-Demand Troubleshooting to view the dashboards. The dashboard screens do not display real-time information. You can also retrieve the DPI statistics by selecting the device from the drop-down menu and choosing the Data Type as DPI.

  4. Enable On-Demand Troubleshooting to view details of the selected device.

  5. Choose Optimized Traffic or Application, depending on what you want to monitor.

  6. Choose Controller or Service Node.

    If the chosen device has an integrated service node, you can view the data for either the controller role or the service node role. If the chosen device is an external AppQoE service node, you can view the monitoring data for the external service node, as well as the controller that it's connected to.

    The monitoring data for your selected device displays in the form of a chart, followed by a table. You can view the data in form of a graph or bar chart by toggling between the two options.

    • From the Chart Options drop-down list, you can view the data by Bytes or Percentage Reduction.

    • You can filter the data for a specified time range (1h, 3h, 6h, and so on), or click Custom to define a time range.

Monitoring data for the selected device appears as a chart and table. You can toggle between graph and bar chart views, choose metrics such as Bytes or Percentage Reduction, filter by time range, and view data for either the controller or service node role.
