Troubleshoot NGFW Connectivity and Policy Enforcement Anomalies

Troubleshoot issues on your NGFWs.
Where Can I Use This?What Do I Need?
Troubleshoot your NGFWs from Strata Cloud Manager without having to move between various firewall interfaces. If you experience connectivity issues after deploying and configuring your NGFWs, you can get an aggregate view of your routing and tunnel states, and drill down to specifics to find anomalies and problematic configurations.
Troubleshoot your identity-based policy rules and dynamically defined endpoints. You can check the status of specific NGFWs and expose possible mismatches between how you expect a policy to work and its actual enforcement behavior.
Troubleshooting lets you drill down on issue that might arise within these networking and identity features–track down and resolve connectivity issues or policy enforcement anomalies:
Network Troubleshooting
Identity and Policy Troubleshooting
Or, you can go to the feature you want to troubleshoot and select the Troubleshooting button to get started.
View and sort troubleshooting jobs you've run by Status, Action, Search Target, and Timestamp.

Export Metadata for Troubleshooting

To provide technical support with the information they need to better assist you, AIOps for NGFW enables you to export your deployment data to your local machine. This data arrives in JSON files that are compressed in the gzip format.
  1. Select Help > Export Tenant Metadata.
  2. Prepare Metadata.
  3. Download your metadata file.
    The metadata file name contains your Customer Support Portal (CSP) ID, your AIOps for NGFW tenant ID, and the timestamp for the export: <csp-tenant-timestamp>.gzip.
