Citrix SD-WAN Center

Application report

Deep packet inspection (DPI) enables the SD-WAN appliance to parse the traffic passing through it and identify the application and application family types. Citrix SD-WAN appliance records the number of bytes and bandwidth of incoming and outgoing traffic of every application. SD-WAN Center polls the SD-WAN appliance at the defined polling interval, obtains this data, and displays it on the dashboard and as reports.  

You can view top applications, top sites, and top application family reports. These reports provide details about the total, incoming, and outgoing data and bandwidth.

To view application reports in Citrix SD-WAN Center:

  1. In Citrix SD-WAN Center web UI, navigate to Reporting > Applications.

  2. In the time-line control, select the time interval. For more information, see Timeline controls.
