ADEM Monitoring and Tests for Remote Sites
ADEM lets you create synthetic tests for remote sites. These tests provide a good
baseline view of the digital experience segment-by-segment across all monitored
applications

For Remote Sites, ADEM supports monitoring via three paths - the
Prisma Access
path, the
Secure Fabric path and the direct path.- —the ADEM agent on the ION device monitors the following:Prisma SD-WANdevice monitoring
- CPU utilization
- Memory utilization
- Historical trends
- Remote site traffic visibility—ADEM continuously provides visibility into real traffic usage betweenPrisma SD-WANremote sites and the applications, for traffic traversing throughPrisma Access, including traffic to SaaS applications, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) applications, as well as traffic to applications in your own data center.
- Synthetic Monitoring—The ADEM-enabled SD-WAN site and the cloud agents withinPrisma Accessuse synthetic tests to baseline end-to-end network quality metrics—latency, jitter, and loss—for each segment from the remote site to the monitored applications on all WAN paths (active and backup). In addition, ADEM-enabled SD-WAN site and the cloud agents withinPrisma Accessalso use synthetic tests to collect web performance metrics, which capture metrics about the HTTP and HTTPS transactions to a specific application, including application availability and uptime, DNS lookup, TCP Connect, SSL connect, HTTP latency, Time-to-First-Byte, Data Transfer rate and Time-to-Last-Byte.Because the synthetic tests are layered, they give a good baseline view of the digital experience segment-by-segment across all monitored applications, and allow you to quickly visualize when and where a change occurred that led to degradation of your users’ digital experience.An ADEM enabled SD-WAN site can monitor all WAN paths (active and backup) based on forwarding policies configured on the SD-WAN. It can monitorPrisma Accesspath, Secure Fabric path as well as Direct access path.
The three paths shown in the above image are described in detail
below:
- Prisma AccessPathThis path is used for applications that are configured to usePrisma Accessfor security.
- Secure Fabric (Prisma SD-WAN) PathWhen using this path, ADEM can monitor applications hosted on SaaS, IaaS, or private applications hosted in a data center via the Secure Fabric tunnel between thePrisma SD-WANremote site device andPrisma SD-WANdata center device.
- Direct Access PathWhen using this path, ADEM monitors SaaS applications directly from the Prisma SD-WAN remote site over the internet. This test does not go through thePrisma Accessor the Secure Fabric path.
