What's New in NSM SaaS

  • Zero Touch 2.0: It is a new microservices based architecture that simplifies on-boarding of firewalls and establishes reliable connectivity between NSM and firewalls. Moving the firewalls to Zero-touch 2.0 will require migration which will be done in phases by SonicWall and no action is required by customers. SonicWall will inform you in advance when your account is selected for migration. You will receive a notification email to your MySonicWall account.
  • System Events for Generation 7 Firewalls: Administrators can now view the firewall System Event logs in NSM. Please refer to the Reporting and Analytics Guide for more details. The following pre-requisites are necessary to view and manage system events:

    • NSM advanced license on firewalls.

    • Only supported only for newly added device with Sonic OS 7.0.1-5080 or higher.

  • Tenant and Group Level Custom Reports: Administrators can now build aggregated custom reports at the tenant and firewall device group level.

  • CIDR based Search: Administrators can look for a range of IP addressed within a CIDR in analytics data.

    Refer to "Known Issues" section for any known issues with these features. These issues will be addressed in upcoming maintenance releases.
