The Command Center is a unified dashboard in Strata Cloud Manager that
integrates network health, security, and efficiency data from various Palo Alto Networks
products. This feature extends visibility to your SASE and standalone Prisma SD-WAN
deployments. This provides a single pane of glass to monitor overall health, security
posture, and traffic patterns across your entire network ecosystem. This functionality
relies on a centralized logging infrastructure. Data from your Prisma SD-WAN deployments
and other Palo Alto Networks products is sent to the Strata Logging Service, and the
Command Center queries this aggregated data to construct its visualizations.
The Command Center dashboard helps by providing:
- Unified Network Visibility – Gain a comprehensive view of network
health, security, and efficiency across your SASE and standalone Prisma SD-WAN
deployments.
- Enhanced Threat Monitoring – Consolidate SD-WAN security events
into a single, aggregated threat dashboard for quicker detection and response.
- Actionable Insights – Classify hosts (Users, IoT, Unclassified) and
applications (Internet, SaaS, Private) to understand traffic patterns and security
posture.
- Streamlined Operations – Quickly identify and differentiate between
Prisma SD-WAN sites and other network traffic for targeted management.
The dashboard displays sources, platforms, and applications data:
Sources — Entities initiating network traffic. These identify
endpoint types:
- IoT Devices
- Users
- Unclassified Hosts
Platforms — Network infrastructure components through which
traffic traverses. These show which Palo Alto Networks products process your
traffic:
