Monitor the Prisma Access for Networks CloudBlade (Cloud Managed)

View the Status Monitor functions in 316 Cloud managed.
Go to the
Prisma Access for Networks CloudBlade (Cloud Managed)
tile to view the connectivity status information of the CloudBlade from the following options.
  • The connectivity indicator appears as a dot on the top-right corner of the tile and updates every 15 seconds automatically. The color of the dot shows the current state of the CloudBlade.
    • Red
      : The CloudBlade encountered issues during execution.
    • Green
      : The CloudBlade execution is in progress.
    • Blue
      : The CloudBlade execution is complete without any issues.
    • Yellow
      : The CloudBlade execution is yet to complete. This can happen during the first installation.
  • Click the
    Monitor
    button to view the status of the CloudBlade.
  • Click the
    Messages
    button to view the execution start and end messages that the CloudBlade sends in real time.
  • Click the
    Audit Logs
    button to view the audit trail of the changes done to the CloudBlade configurations.
The
Monitor
button allows you to view a collection of data sets, which help understand the current status of the CloudBlade, and the data in each tab, is updated when a execution is complete. These tabs are explained below:
  • The
    General Information
    tab shows a snapshot of the current state of the CloudBlade and Prisma SD-WAN. It gives an overview of all the components involved in the CloudBlade, which are SD-WAN, CloudBlade, and optionally the Cloud Services plugin.
  • The
    SDWAN Sites
    tab shows the computed state of each SD-WAN site. It provides key properties computed by the CloudBlade for each site in each column. The columns currently shown are:
    • View each of the SD-WAN sites by clicking the
      Site Name
      button.
    • Use the
      Site Encoded ID
      to filter resources related to this site. The encoded ID is a unique identifying name used in Prisma Access to create resources.
    • Check the
      Tunnel Formation
      to see if the site is eligible for tunnel formation. If the site is computed to be disabled, then existing tunnels are deleted as well.
    • On-board a site as single, shared, mirrored, or misconfigured in
      HA Mode
      , based on the number of devices attached to the site. A misconfigured site indicates an issue with the CloudBlade configuration.
    • Click the option
      BGP Enabled
      as
      Yes
      , if you wish to enable BGP on tunnels formed on this site.
    • Click the option
      ECMP Enabled
      as
      Yes
      , if you wish to have tunnels formed on this site on ECMP Remote Networks, else the tunnels will be Non-ECMP Remote Networks.
    • View the list of
      ECMP Regions
      (list of Prisma Access regions) under the site level tag’s ECMP tab, which is eligible for ECMP tunnel formation.
  • In the
    Tunnel Summaries
    tab, for each service link created by the CloudBlade, an entry is created which provides the related SD-WAN and Prisma Access resources for a given service link.
    If you don't find the expected service link, see the
    Events
    tab for any warnings generated on the concerned site or port.
  • View a summary of the
    Prisma Access Regions
    as reported by Prisma Access. The regions that have bandwidth allocation are shown first. The format of the
    SPN
    name and number can be used to tag a port on site. It also shows the number of Remote Networks created on an SPN to keep track of the number of networks that can be onboarded on to this SPN.
  • CloudBlade Events
    show the events generated during the CloudBlade execution. Each event has a unique code associated with it. The code contains an event source and related details, which provide a concise description on what can be done (if possible) to resolve the issue. An event, which causes the CloudBlade to exit abnormally shows the
    Blocking
    value as
    Yes
    .
  • Configuration Events
    are events generated based on tags and site configurations. Each event has a unique event code and context used to identify which component has caused this event.
  • View the status of each
    prisma tag
    defined on each port on a device from the
    Interface Tag Summary
    tab. For every interface scanned by the CloudBlade, this tab shows if a tunnel can be formed on a port. It also shows the tags, which are ignored or accepted as valid by the CloudBlade.
To use the
Monitor
feature more effectively:
  • View the
    Prisma Access Regions
    tab to see the list of
    prisma_region
    tags to use on the ports.
  • View the
    Interface Tag Summary
    tab to see any invalid or wrongly typed tag on the ports.
  • View the
    Configuration Events
    tab to see all warnings and errors arising due to unsupported tag or site configurations.
  • View the
    CloudBlade Events
    tab to see runtime errors that occur during executions.
