Baseline Your Prisma Access Hub Application and Link Performance
Baseline your Prisma Access Hub application and link
performance before configuring SD-WAN link management profiles.
Before you Configure SD-WAN Link Management Profiles, Palo Alto Networks
recommends you baseline your Prisma Access Hub application and link
performance to better understand the normal payload activity for
your Prisma Access Hub to avoid unnecessary link swapping for applications
and traffic that do not require it.
The longer the time frame you use to baseline your Prisma
Access Hub app and link performance, the more accurate the baseline
will be. At a minimum, use three days worth of app and link performance
to baseline the latency, jitter, and packet loss data you use to
create your SD-WAN link management profiles.
Palo
Alto Networks recommends assessing seven days of app and link performance
data to baseline the latency, jitter, and packet loss for the Prisma
Access Hub.
Filter the SD-WAN monitoring to display only your Prisma
Access Hub-Spoke VPN clusters.
Click an App Performance or Link Performance
summary that indicates Impacted, Error, or Warning counts to view
a detailed list of sites and their status based on latency, jitter,
and packet loss.
In the VPN Cluster filter, select
Prisma
Access Hub-Spoke
.
Click a Site to view in-depth health details for the
Prisma Access Hub.
Review the link characteristics for a Prisma Access Hub
application.
Click an application in the App Performance
section to view the Traffic Characteristics and the links used for
the applications traffic.
Click each Link to view the baseline latency, jitter,
and packet loss measured for the application across the link.
Repeat this for all links until you gather sufficient baseline
data to modify your Prisma Access Hub path quality profile.
Modify your Prisma Access Hub Path Quality profile based
on the latency, jitter, and packet loss baselines you gathered.
