Connecting flexiWAN to Netreo

To begin monitoring your flexiWAN managed devices, you must first connect your flexiWAN account to Netreo. Follow the steps below.

See also flexiWAN (Device Type) for information about device license consumption and metrics collected.

Procedure

  1. Log in to Netreo as a user with the SuperAdmin access level.
  2. Navigate to the Cloud Monitoring Administration page (Administration >> Modules >> Cloud Monitoring from the main menu).
    Cloud Monitoring Administration
  3. Locate the flexiWAN panel and click the Add flexiWAN button.
  4. In the pop-up dialog that appears:
    1. In the NAME field, enter a name of your choice for your flexiWAN account.
    2. In the AUTH TOKEN field, enter the API authorization token for your flexiWAN account. (See the documentation for your flexiWAN account for how to retrieve this token.)
    3. In the ORGANIZATIONS field, enter the name of the organization from your account that contains the devices that you want to monitor. To enter multiple organizations, separate the names with a comma. If you wish to monitor all devices in your account, and not restrict monitoring to specific organizations, leave the field empty.
    4. If you are using a custom API endpoint (see below for information on the default endpoints used):
      1. Check the checkbox for the field Use custom flexiWAN API endpoint.
      2. In the API ENDPOINT field, enter the endpoint address in the format https://manage.flexiWAN.com:443. If no port is specified, 443 is assumed and appended to the endpoint address.
    5. Click the Save button.

Netreo immediately begins discovering your flexiWAN devices and adding them for monitoring. (See also Overview of Automated Device Onboarding.)

If you would like to exclude specific devices from monitoring (for example, by name or some other device attribute), you may do so using Netreo's auto-configuration rules to disable monitoring for those devices, just like any other managed device.

flexiWAN Endpoints

If you are not using a custom endpoint, Netreo must be able to reach the following default flexiWAN endpoints to monitor flexiWAN devices:

(Variables denoted by %s are replaced at runtime with the correct values for organization and time, respectively.)

  • https://manage.flexiwan.com:443/api/organizations
  • https://manage.flexiwan.com:443/api/devices?org=%s
  • https://manage.flexiwan.com:443/api/devices/%s/health?org=%s&startTime=%s
  • https://manage.flexiwan.com:443/api/tunnels?org=%s

If you are using a custom endpoint, Netreo must be able to reach that endpoint.
