VMware Edge Intelligence Overview VMware Edge Intelligence is a vendor agnostic AIOps solution focused on the Enterprise Edge that ensures end-user and Internet of Things (IoT) client performance, security, and self-healing through wireless and wired LAN, SD-WAN, and Secure Access Service Edge (SASE). Integration of VMware Edge Intelligence with VMware helps extend visibility from SD-WAN to branch, campus, and home. This integration helps VMware Edge Intelligence to get data from different vantage points for each application flow, which includes wireless controller, LAN switch, network services, VMware SD-WAN Edge , VMware SD-WAN Hub , VMware SD-WAN Gateway , and application performance metrics. The solution provides deep visibility into the client experience for every application with actionable insights for proactive remediation. Existing SD-WAN customers can take advantage of VMware Edge Intelligence with software upgrade and license addition.
Prerequisites to Activate EI on SD-WAN Edges To activate VMware Edge Intelligence on SD-WAN Edges , ensure you have the following prerequisites:
Provision a New Edge with Analytics Analytics functionality is built natively into the VMware SD-WAN Edge for collecting data inline. However, by default, Analytics is deactivated for Edges. Enterprise Administrators can create Analytics Edges only when the Analytics functionality is activated.
View Analytics Data Once a SD-WAN Edge is provisioned with Analytics, the Analytics functionality collects data (application-specific Analytics or application and branch Analytics). The collected Analytics data are then sent directly from the SD-WAN Edge to the Cloud Analytics Engine. Operator Super User, Operator Standard Admin, Enterprise Super User, Enterprise Standard admin, Partner Super User, and Partner Standard Admin can view the Analytics data for a specific customer in the Analytics portal (https://app.nyansa.com
).
Set Up EI for SD-WAN Customers To set up VMware Edge Intelligence (EI) for SD-WAN customers, perform the following recommended steps:
Review Incidents and Client Details After Setting Up EI After setting up VMware Edge Intelligence , it can take approximately 3 to 5 days for the EI to build a baseline based on the data it receives. The following are few things that you need to familiarize and review on a regular basis.
Activate Additional Feeds Analytics Interface specifies the interface and interface IP that an Edge uses for SNMP polling, receiving AMON, traps, and so on. Once you have provisioned an Analytics Edge, you can override the default Analytics Management interface on the Global segment for the Edge to ingest data such as SNMP, AMON, traps, and syslog from the Analytics section in the Device Setting page of the Edge.
