WAN Clarity Data Center Reports
Learn about the WAN Clarity Data Center reports.
The Data Center reports
provide an insight into utilization trends from a Data Center perspective.
Similar to the branch reports, these reports identify top applications,
source IP addresses, destination IP addresses, source-destination
IP address pairs, and undefined domains along with top branches. You
can generate this set of reports for hotspots observed in the data
center.
It is important to note that a hotspot definition
for a data center differs from that for a branch. While for branches,
utilization over 70% of configured bandwidth is considered a hotspot,
for a data center, you may consider 90th percentile utilization
as a hotspot. It, therefore, becomes imperative that you accurately
set the circuit bandwidth allocations at the data center. These
reports provide an approximation of the utilization trends as the
reports generated only consider overlay paths.
In summary, the WAN Clarity Report generates every week to help
you understand how the circuits in the Prisma SD-WAN AppFabric can
be utilized from an entire fabric, site, circuit, application, and
user perspective. These reports provide actionable insights that
you can use for capacity planning, path policy adjustments, QoS
policy adjustments, and enforcement of proper use of network resources
by the end-user community.
The following sections describe the data center reports in the
WAN Clarity Reports in more detail.
Traffic Distribution
The Traffic Distribution report helps administrators
understand traffic volume distribution to all the data centers in
the AppFabric. These reports help understand traffic flow from branches,
applications, and top applications from top branches to and from
the data centers in the form of Sankey charts. These reports deliver
an HTML report with Sankey charts for the top 10 contenders and
a CSV file with the entire dataset.
Traffic
Distribution: Top Applications Report
Provides details
into the flow of application traffic to and from all the data centers
in the AppFabric. It provides visibility into the top 10 ingress
and egress applications by volume.
The
HTML report also provides an insight into top applications by total
volume across all the DCs in the form of a Combined Egress and Ingress
traffic report.
In
the examples above, there is only a single data center: DC1. The
data flow label above the data center block indicates traffic flow,
either to or from that data center.
In the case of multiple
DCs, you may decipher the traffic volume going to each of the data
centers from the flow stream's thickness. The supplemental CSV can
help understand the accurate distribution of application traffic
volume across the data centers.
See
the sample report below:
Traffic
Distribution: Top Branches Report
Provides details into
the flow of branch traffic to all the data centers in the AppFabric.
It provides visibility into the top 10 ingress and egress flows
from branches by volume and a combined summary report.
Traffic
Distribution: Top Applications from Top Branches
Provides
details into the top 10 applications emerging from the top 10 branches
to all the data centers in the AppFabric. The report provides visibility
into top ingress and egress branches and the top applications' flow
by volume emerging from these branches.
