Explain how vManage dashboards and analytics help monitor SD-WAN health and performance.

• A. Only device uptime
• B. Basic status indicators
• C. Real-time and historical data for tunnel status, throughput, latency, jitter, packet loss, path quality, device health, and SLA attainment
• D. System health dashboards show uptime and hardware status only

Answer: (D)

vManage dashboards and analytics provide a time-aware, end-to-end view of SD-WAN health. They expose both real-time status and historical trends, so you can see current tunnel health and how performance evolves over hours or days. You can monitor tunnel status, throughput, latency, jitter, packet loss, path quality, device health, and SLA attainment in one place, which helps you spot congestion, failures, or policy issues and understand their impact on applications. The analytics enable you to correlate events across the network—like a link going down followed by a spike in latency or a drop in throughput—to pinpoint root causes and validate fixes. While system health dashboards show uptime and hardware status as part of the picture, the broader dashboards cover end-to-end performance across the SD-WAN fabric, supporting proactive operations, capacity planning, and SLA reporting.
