Self-Healing feature enables VMware SD-WAN Enterprise and Managed Service Provider (MSP) users to activate and configure Self-Healing capabilities at the Customer, Profile, and Edge level.

Once the Operator user enables the Self-Healing feature for an Enterprise in SD-WAN Orchestrator, VMware Edge Network Intelligence (ENI) monitors and tracks the VMware SD-WAN network for systemic and application performance issues across Edges. ENI then gathers data regarding Self-Healing actions and triggers remediation recommendations to the users on the SD-WAN side directly through the incident alert email. For more information about Self-Healing feature, see the Self-Healing Overview section in the VMware Edge Network Intelligence User Guide published at https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Edge-Network-Intelligence/index.html.
Note: Currently, only Manual remediation is supported by ENI. Automatic remediation support is planned in future releases.
