About Network Monitor Policies

Network path performance metrics are determined using Network Monitor probes. SonicOSX supports ICMP and TCP probe types. For more information, see Configuring Network Monitor Policies.

The NETWORK | System > Network Monitor page shows the dynamic performance data (latency/jitter/packet loss) and probe status for each path (interface) in the address object group, in both tabular and graphic displays. The display can show data for the last minute (default), last day, last week, or last month.

# Number of the probe. The Collapse/Expand icon toggles the display of the graphs.
Name Name of the Network Monitor Policy.
IP Version IPv4 or IPv6
Probe Target When logical probing is enabled, test packets can be sent to a remote probe target to verify WAN path availability.
Gateway Gateway where the traffic originated.
Local IP Address object you select
Interface Round trip delay for the probes sent through a particular path/interface to reach the probe target and acknowledge back, in milliseconds. This is also displayed as a graph below the probe’s entry in the Network Monitor policy table.
Probe Type

Type of network monitor:

  • Ping – Explicit Route
  • TCP – Explicit Route

When - TCP – Explicit Route is selected along with the RST Response Counts as Miss field, the Port field also becomes available.
Interval Time between SD-WAN performance probes, in seconds.
Port Port for the SD-WAN performance probe. The minimum/maximum values are 1 to 65535. Ports are displayed only for TCP - Explicit Route probe types. A hyphen (–) displays for Ping - Explicit Route probe types.
Response Timeout Maximum delay for a response.
Failure Threshold Number of missed intervals before the probe state is set to DOWN.
Success Threshold Number of successful intervals until the probe state is set to UP.
All Must Respond Enabled or Disabled
RST Is Failure For probe types of TCP – Explicit Route, whether RST responses count as misses.
Status Shows whether the monitor is up or down.
UUID UUID/GUID-based Client Identifier
Comment Any comment entered when the interface was configured.

When configuring Network Monitor, default row(s) are created for each of the interfaces used by the groups established on the Network Monitor Policies screen.
