Gateway → Get Gateway Tunnel Dropped Packets Trend

AI-generated

Overview

This node operation retrieves the trend data of dropped packets for a specific tunnel on a gateway device within the Aruba Central Next Gen platform. It is useful for monitoring network performance and troubleshooting issues related to packet loss on gateway tunnels. For example, network administrators can use this to analyze the health and reliability of VPN or LAN tunnels over a specified time range.

Use Case Examples

  1. Monitoring dropped packet trends on a VPN tunnel to identify intermittent connectivity issues.
  2. Analyzing tunnel performance over the last 3 hours or a custom time range to optimize network configurations.

Properties

Name Meaning
Debug Mode Whether to enable detailed debug logs for troubleshooting.
Domain API domain to interact with, such as monitoring or configuration.
Serial Number Gateway serial number to identify the specific gateway device.
Tunnel Name Tunnel name to retrieve dropped packet trend details for.
Time Range Optional timestamp range for data retrieval, defaults to last 3 hours if not specified.

Output

JSON

  • timestamp - Timestamp of the data point in the trend.
  • droppedPackets - Number of dropped packets recorded at the timestamp.
  • tunnelName - Name of the tunnel for which the trend data is retrieved.
  • serialNumber - Serial number of the gateway device.

Dependencies

  • Aruba Central Next Gen API with OAuth2 authentication

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the gateway serial number and tunnel name are correct and exist in the Aruba Central environment.
  • Verify that the API credentials have sufficient permissions to access monitoring data for gateways.
