Dashboard

The Barracuda SecureEdge dashboard provides a comprehensive overview of SD-WAN connections, network activity, and traffic details, and shows actionable status and security information of connected sites. SD-WAN provides multiple VPN transports with each transport capable of using a different WAN connection, thereby expanding on the concept of a traditional VPN tunnel with only one VPN transport to one logical VPN tunnel. SD-WAN also provides redundant, reliable, and failsafe network connections: the VPN tunnel is up and can transmit traffic as long as at least one transport is operational. Admins can retain full control over how each transport is used, or they can configure the advanced balancing and bandwidth management features to optimally use the available bandwidth. For more information, see SD-WAN Policies.

The SecureEdge smart dashboard consists of four predefined, customizable pages: A general dashboard named STATUS provides information on the status of all connected devices, a dashboard named SECURITY displays information on security cards, a dashboard named WEB FILTER displays information on secure web gateway cards, and a dashboard named ZERO TRUST ACCESS provides information on the status of connected users, resources, and custom applications. You can perform the following on your smart dashboard:

• You can change the dashboard appearance as well as the displayed information per workspace.
• You can move (drag-and-drop) and modify each element as needed.
• You can create, modify, or delete your own customize dashboards and save them.

STATUS Dashboard

The Barracuda SecureEdge STATUS dashboard provides an overview of all connections, and shows the network status, events, as well as the actionable status and security information of connected edge services, sites, and IoT devices. You can move (drag-and-drop) and modify each element according to your requirements. You can create, modify, or delete your own customize dashboards and save them. 

The dashboard organizes information into elements and provides the following details:
