Managing fragmented performance data across multiple platforms complicates
troubleshooting and slows response times for critical network incidents. To solve
this visibility gap, the
NGFW status monitoring feature in Strata
Cloud Manager organizes critical device performance data in a clear, intuitive
interface. When you transition from Panorama to Strata Cloud Manager, you benefit
from a unified view of both NGFW and Prisma® Access infrastructure while maintaining
access to familiar metrics for operational monitoring.
Device details, categorized by resource and traffic metrics, provide
performance insights. Resource metrics indicate potential constraints, while traffic
metrics offer comprehensive network visibility with interface statistics, tunnel
metrics, throughput, latency, and packet drops. The network topology view displays
connectivity to management systems, high-availability clusters, and log collectors.
Additionally, session metrics display throughput, session counts, connection rates,
and global session table utilization.
This improved organization of metrics makes reactive troubleshooting more
efficient by helping you distinguish between device health issues and network
behavior problems. When incidents occur, the interface links alerts directly to
specific metrics with visual indicators on time series charts to correlate issues
across multiple data points. You can quickly identify devices experiencing telemetry
delays, certificate expiration issues, or critical incidents requiring immediate
attention to maintain a robust security posture.
