Find out how to enable Autonomous DEM for Prisma Access Remote
Networks.
Where Can I Use This?
What Do I Need?
Prisma Access (Managed by Strata Cloud Manager)
Prisma Access (Managed by Panorama)
Prisma Access license
Autonomous DEM license
To enable Autonomous Digital Experience
Management (ADEM) for your Prisma Access Remote Networks, you must
have a license for Prisma Access for Remote Networks. You can then
apply your ADEM Remote Networks license to the compute locations
and let the SD-WAN sites connected to those compute locations run
synthetic tests that continuously monitor the digital experience
of your remote sites on those applications.
Prisma Access Autonomous DEM for Remote Networks is only
supported if the remote network is a Prisma SD-WAN device.
ADEM for Remote Networks is only supported when Aggregate
Bandwidth is enabled on Prisma Access.
Purchase Autonomous DEM license for Remote Networks.
If
you purchased an Autonomous DEM license with a new Prisma Access
subscription, you must activate ADEM during the Prisma Access activation
process. If you purchased an add-on Autonomous DEM license for an
existing Prisma Access subscription, activation will happen automatically.
With
an active ADEM Remote Networks license, each SD-WAN device at a
remote site is capable of running a certain number of synthetic
tests based on the size of the SD-WAN device.

Each platform can run up to a defined number
of application tests presuming each application is configured to
use a maximum of 4 paths. If the number of paths configured per
application increases, it will reduce the overall number of application
tests per platform. The Administrator has the flexibility to enable
application performance monitoring on active paths only while creating
the application tests on the ADEM portal.
Based on
the application forwarding policy configured on Prisma SD-WAN, ADEM
will monitor all available paths for individual applications. Each
path monitored, whether it is an application’s active or backup
path is considered as one test. Hence, if an application is monitored
for three paths, it will be considered as three tests, but if you
also monitor the backup paths for that application, then it will
be considered as 6 tests- three tests for the active paths and three
for the backup paths. So, you must decide whether to monitor both
active and the backup paths for applications or only the active
paths. The more paths you monitor per application, the less number
of applications you will be able to monitor from a SD-WAN remote
site.
You must have enabled all Prisma Access remote network configuration
to securely connect Prisma SD-WAN remote sites. For details on configuring
aggregate bandwidth, refer to the documentation for Panorama Managed Prisma Access or Cloud Managed Prisma Access respectively.
You must be running these mandatory versions of the following
software:
Software Name
Mandatory Version
Prisma Access (Cloud Managed or Panorama)
2.2 Preferred
Prisma SD-WAN
5.6.1-b13
CloudBlades (Prisma Access Cloud Managed)
3.1.1
CloudBlades (Prisma Access Panorama Managed)
2.1.2
Whether you are using ADEM on Panorama Managed Prisma Access
or Cloud Managed Prisma Access, you can manage ADEM from the Cloud
Management console.
Use the Autonomous DEM Summary and Applications dashboards
within the Prisma Access Cloud Management console to get a sense
of the baseline digital experience score for your SASE environment
as a whole, and for each individual application.
Even before
you begin configuring application tests to monitor specific applications,
you can use the Applications dashboard to
get an overall view of the applications in use across your network and
use this information to decide which applications you want to monitor.
Add application tests for the remote sites that you want
to monitor.
Use the ADEM dashboards to monitor the digital experience
of users, remote sites, and applications across your SASE environment
and use the information to troubleshoot issues as they arise.
