A user asked about monitoring VeloCloud SD-WAN routers with Scoutbees or script actions. The respondent suggested availability could be monitored using a ping or http/s test, while a more advanced solution could be done with the shell test. For deeper performance monitoring, it depends on the router’s OS – for a supported Linux flavor Edge DX may be an option. Syslog capabilities and the operating system should be investigated to check for other options.

Anyone come up with cools ways to monitor VeloCloud SD-WAN routers with Scoutbees or script actions?
Depends a little bit on what exactly you want to monitor. If you’re looking to monitor availability there’s various ways you could go about that, the easiest one probably being the ping or http/s test. Something more advanced could be done through the shell test.
If you’re looking at more in-depth performance monitoring, it’s going to depend on what OS runs on the router. If it’s a supported Linux flavor maybe edge DX could be something.
So it very much depends on what you’re expectations are
Probably things like circuits up/down, jitter. Latency. Those are a bit difficult because the SD-Wan is doing the intelligent routing and may confuse a scout. I’ll look at what Syslog capabilities there are and what Linux is it is running.
