Monitoring Palo Alto Prisma SD-WAN deployments with IBM SevOne 

7 days ago

Looking to monitor your Prisma SD-WAN deployment with IBM SevOne?                                                                                               Good news: it is incredibly simple, with no custom development or manual configuration required. You will be up and running in just a few minutes. Here’s how.

Add Your Prisma SD-WAN Credentials

To begin, just enter the Credentials that are available from your Palo Alto Networks service account.

Automatic Device Discovery

Once you have entered the credentials. The plugin immediately reaches out to the Prisma SD-WAN Orchestrator to start discovering your network devices.

In just 2–3 minutes, all eligible ION devices are automatically pulled into the SevOne NMS. No manual device entry. No delay.

Dive into Real-Time Reports

After the devices are onboarded, head straight to the Data Insight (DI) reports in SevOne. Here you will find:

·       A unified view of your Prisma SD-WAN deployment

·       Device health metrics

·       Interface and tunnel performance

·       Flow-based visibility, including top applications and high-traffic sources

With SevOne's robust Reporting Engine, you can create reports that can help your Network Engineering /Network Operations teams catch issues/outages faster. Below, you can see snapshots of a few reports we have created with Prisma ION devices

Behind the Scenes: How SevOne Validates and Collects Data

To ensure we are monitoring the correct interfaces, here’s what happens automatically:

  1. API Integration: SevOne uses Prisma SD-WAN APIs to pull device inventory and all interface IPs.
  2. Reachability Check: Each IP is tested to make sure it is routable and reachable from the collector using basic connectivity test.
  3. SNMP Validation: For each reachable IP, we perform an SNMP walk to:
    • Validate SNMP configuration (community string, version, etc.)
    • Retrieve relevant SNMP metrics and OIDs for ingestion into SevOne

That’s It — Monitoring Simplified

From setup to insights, this integration is designed to make Prisma SD-WAN monitoring easy, fast, and effective—no scripts, no manual configs, no hassle.
