Technical Tip: Performance SLA and SD-WAN Rule Pages on FortiGate GUI Interface Fails to Load due to API Overhead

Description

This article describes an issue where SD-WAN Rules Pages on the FortiGate GUI Interface fail to load in large-scale ADVPN deployments with numerous spokes.


This issue is often accompanied by missing visual data in the SD-WAN Zone section. Specifically, the live charts for packet loss, latency, and jitter do not display, and the donut charts for bandwidth, volume, and session metrics show no results.

Scope FortiGate v7.4.5
Solution

The SD-WAN Rules page fails to load in ADVPN setups, particularly in large environments with numerous spokes.
