When creating a new SD-WAN customer (Enterprise or Partner), VMware SD-WAN Orchestrator allows Operator Super Users, Operator Standard Admins, Partner Super Users, and Partner Standard Admins to enable the Analytics functionality for the customer. Analytics helps to collect 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.

To enable Analytics for a new customer, see the Create New Customer section in the VMware SD-WAN Operator Guide available at https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-SD-WAN/index.html.

Prerequisites

Ensure that the following system properties are properly set in the SD-WAN Orchestrator:
  • session.options.enableEdgeAnalytics
  • service.analytics.apiURL
  • service.analytics.apiToken
  • service.analytics.configEndpoint
  • service.analytics.analyticsEndpointStatic
  • service.analytics.analyticsEndpointDynamic

For more information, see Enable VMware Edge Network Intelligence on a VMware SD-WAN Orchestrator.

Results

The new customer's name is displayed in the Customers screen. You can click on the customer name to navigate to the Enterprise portal and add or modify Analytics configurations for the customer.
