Description This article describes how to see old measures of an SD-WAN Performance-SLA.
Scope FortiManager.
Solution

In Fortinet SD-WAN, Performance SLAs are important to monitor SD-WAN members' status to adapt consequentially the FortiGate behavior.

 

For example with a configured Performance SLA like this (FortiManager Performance SLA view):

 

Performance SLA from FMG.png

 

Some users go to see the Performance SLA measures from the FortiGate in SD-WAN -> Performance SLA TAB:

 

Screen 0 new FGT.png

 

From there is possible to see only the trend in a short period.

 

To see the graphs with the Performance SLA trend on a longer time range is necessary to enable the sdwan-monitor-history feature in the FortiManager, as explained here: Enabling SD-WAN monitoring history.

 

In FortiManager CLI:

 

config system admin setting

    set sdwan-monitor-history enable

 

Important note: Pay attention to the impact of this feature, as explained in the document mentioned before.

 

There are 2 options to see the graphs of measures:

 

First option:

 

Going to: SD-WAN Manager -> Network -> Monitor and scrolling down, the last graph group is of active Performance SLAs:

 

Screen 2 new FMG.png

 

It is possible to customize the graph interval (without the sdwan-monitor-history feature is possible to see only the last 10 minutes).

 

Second Option:

 

Add the SD-WAN widget in ad hoc TAB, under the Dashboard TABs group of a single FortiGate managed.

 

Path of the Dashboard TAB group: Device Manager -> Device Group Select the Device.

 

How to add the widget:

 

Screen 1 FMG.png

 

Screen 2 FMG.png

 

Screen 3 FMG.png

 

Scrolling down on the new TAB:

 

Screen 4 FMG.png

 

Data shown in the graphs are very useful to verify if a: 'random traffic slowness' problem, with it not ongoing during technicians' troubleshooting, is caused by SD-WAN members' bad performances.
