Technical Tip: Unable to configure an SD-WAN Performance SLA with the same server as another Performance SLA

Description This article describes why it is not possible to use the same server for multiple Performance SLAs.
Scope FortiGate.
Solution

When trying to configure multiple health checks, it is not possible to use the same server on different Performance SLAs.

The intention is to keep the configuration simple. If multiple interfaces are needed to monitor one server, they should be used in the same Performance SLA.

 

This is the error that would be seen when trying to configure this:

The other SLA with the name 'Overlay_Health' exists on the same server:

If there is a requirement to add multiple outgoing interfaces to monitor towards a single destination server, then they should be added in the same SD-WAN performance SLA.

If the set-source option is used in the sla, then that source-ip should be able to reach the target server through all of the outgoing interfaces that are part of this SLA.

 

config system sdwan
    config health-check
        edit Perf1 
            set source <IP address>   <---- source-IP to be used for the health check.
end
