Create a SaaS Quality Profile
Configure a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) quality profile
to specify a SaaS application for a hub firewall with a Direct Internet
Access (DIA) link.
If your branch firewall has a Direct Internet
Access (DIA) link to a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) application,
create a SaaS Quality profile to specify how one or more SaaS applications
should be monitored. SaaS Quality profiles are associated with an SD-WAN policy rule to
determine how the branch firewall determines the path quality thresholds
for latency, jitter, and packet loss and selects the preferred path
for an outgoing packet.
The SaaS Quality profile supports
up to four static IP addresses, or one fully qualified domain name
(FQDN) or URL per SaaS Quality profile. When multiple static IP addresses
are configured, the branch firewall monitors one IP address at a
time in a cascading order based on how the IP addresses are ordered
in the SaaS Quality profile. For example, if you add IP1, IP2, IP3,
and IP4, the branch firewall monitors IP1 to determine if the path
quality thresholds have been exceeded, then continues to IP2, and
so forth.
SD-WAN monitoring and
reporting data displays the SaaS application and SaaS application
IP, FQDN, or URL as it is currently configured in the SaaS Quality profile
associated with an SD-WAN policy rule regardless of the time filter
applied when viewing your SD-WAN monitoring data.
For example,
three days ago you initially configured the IP address of your SaaS application
as
192.168.10.50
in a SaaS Quality profile
and had traffic match the SD-WAN policy rule to which the SaaS Quality
profile is associated. Today, you reconfigured this existing SaaS
Quality profile and changed the SaaS application IP address to 192.168.10.20
.
When you go review the SD-WAN monitoring data, all existing monitoring
data for this SaaS application display the IP address 192.168.10.20

- Configure the SaaS Monitoring Mode.
- Automatically monitor the SaaS application path health.Enabled by default,Adaptivemonitoring allows the branch firewall to passively monitor the SaaS application session for send and receive activity to determine if the path quality thresholds have been exceeded. The SaaS application path health quality is automatically determined without any additional health checks on the SD-WAN interface.Adaptive SaaS monitoring is supported only for TCP SaaS applications.
- Configure the Static IP address for the SaaS application.Create a SaaS Quality profile per critical SaaS application that you need monitored. If a SaaS application has multiple IP addresses, configure a SaaS Quality profile with the multiple static IP addresses for that SaaS application.SaaS monitoring is resource-intensive and may impact firewall performance if monitoring a large number of SaaS applications. It is a best practice to only monitor those business-critical SaaS applications that need good usability.
