Dashboard

The Barracuda SecureEdge dashboard provides a comprehensive overview of SD-WAN connections, network activity, and traffic details, and shows actionable status and security information of connected sites. SD-WAN provides multiple VPN transports with each transport capable of using a different WAN connection, thereby expanding on the concept of a traditional VPN tunnel with only one VPN transport to one logical VPN tunnel. SD-WAN also provides redundant, reliable, and failsafe network connections: the VPN tunnel is up and can transmit traffic as long as at least one transport is operational. Admins can retain full control over how each transport is used, or they can configure the advanced balancing and bandwidth management features to optimally use the available bandwidth. For more information, see SD-WAN Policies.

Barracuda SecureEdge explicitly provides information about SD-WAN tunnels.

The SecureEdge smart dashboard consists of four predefined, customizable pages: A general dashboard named Status provides information on the status of all connected devices, a dashboard named Security displays information on security cards, a dashboard named Web Filter displays information on secure web gateway cards, and a dashboard named Zero Trust Access provides information on the status of connected users, resources, and custom applications. You can perform the following on your smart dashboard:

You can change the dashboard appearance as well as the displayed information per workspace.
You can move (drag-and-drop) and modify each element as needed.
You can create, modify, or delete your own customize dashboards and save them.

In the Barracuda SecureEdge Manager, a separate dashboard page is provided with more detailed information on each enrolled unit. This information is displayed in terms of various elements on the corresponding dashboard page. An enrolled unit can be an edge service, a site, or IoT devices.

Status Dashboard

The Barracuda SecureEdge Status dashboard provides an overview of all connections, and shows the network status, events, as well as the actionable status and security information of connected edge services, sites, and IoT devices. You can move (drag-and-drop) and modify each element according to your requirements. You can create, modify, or delete your own customize dashboards and save them.

The dashboard organizes information into elements and provides the following details:

Map

The appliance map provides a graphical view of active VPN tunnels and shows all connected sites, edge services, and IoT devices based on their geo-location.

Click on a location to view more details for the connected site, service, or device.

Status of Edge Service, Site, and IoT

These elements list all connected edge services, sites, and IoT devices in total and provide information on the individual connection status. Enrolled units are shown in numbers with their status indicated by colors:

Online – Edge service, site, or IoT device is up and running.
Pending – Edge service, site, or IoT device is waiting for updates.
Connecting – Edge service, site, or IoT device is trying to connect.
Degraded – Connection is degraded.

To distinguish between the status of various enrolled units, different colors are used:

Connection to the appliance is online, and the appliance is up and running.
Connection to the appliance is pending and waiting for updates.
Connection to the appliance is degraded.
Connected appliance is offline.
Currently connecting to the appliance.

Events

The Events element provides details on recent events related to system status and administration.
