What the SD-WAN dashboard shows
The SD-WAN dashboard allows you to monitor SD-WAN features, such as Multi-Link and VPNs, and to view statistics and reports related to SD-WAN features.
Branches represent the VPN gateways and NetLink elements associated with each NGFW Engine. The SD-WAN dashboard summarizes status information for all branches and VPNs. Various statistics items related to SD-WAN monitoring are available when you customize the SD-WAN dashboard. You can also use these statistics items in Reports and Overviews.
