Cisco SD-WAN WAN fabric

Ask plain-English questions about your own SD-WAN fabric via vManage — device status, control and tunnel connectivity, alarms and policies — answered from live data.

Connect your vManage and Sauble can investigate WAN incidents against your real fabric data — no dashboards to click through. It reads which edges are down, whether the control plane and data-plane tunnels are up, the alarms and events on the timeline, and the policies shaping how traffic flows.

01

What Sauble can do

8 capabilities, grouped by what you are trying to find out.

See what is up and what is down

get_device_statusPer-device operational health — reachability, state, uptime and resource load.
list_alarmsActive and recent alarms — severity, type, the device affected, and whether they have cleared.
list_eventsThe fabric event timeline — control and tunnel state changes, device joins and config events.

Trace fabric connectivity

list_control_connectionsControl-plane OMP/DTLS sessions between edges and controllers — the state the fabric depends on.
list_bfd_sessionsData-plane tunnel health between sites — source and remote TLOC, transport color, up or down.
list_omp_routesThe routes each edge has learned over OMP — prefix, TLOC, VPN and path status.

Inventory & policy

list_devicesEvery edge and controller in the fabric — hostname, system-IP, site-id, type and reachability.
list_centralized_policiesThe vSmart policies shaping the fabric — name, type and whether each is active.

Full read APIget_vmanagereaches the rest of the vManage REST API, read-only.

Plus list_interface_stats, list_device_templates and list_feature_templates.

Ask it things like

Natural language — Sauble picks the right tools for you.

>Which edges are unreachable right now, and since when?
>Are any BFD tunnels between the branch and the data center down?
>Show me the control connections for this edge — is it talking to vSmart?
>What critical alarms are open across the fabric?
>Did this site stop learning routes over OMP after the last config change?
>Which centralized policies are active, and what do they apply to?

How Cisco SD-WAN organizes your data

The 6 things Sauble reads — and how they connect.

Devices

The WAN edges and controllers (vManage, vSmart, vBond), each at a site with a reachability state.

Control connections

The OMP/DTLS sessions edges hold with controllers — the control plane the whole fabric depends on.

BFD tunnels

The data-plane tunnels between sites, each identified by TLOC and transport color, up or down.

OMP routes

The prefixes edges advertise and learn over OMP — how reachability propagates across the fabric.

Alarms & events

Alarms are active fault conditions; events are the state changes that form the incident timeline.

Policies & templates

The centralized policies and device/feature templates that define the fabric's intended configuration.

Bring your own vManage

You provide your vManage URL and a read-only account. Sauble runs the connector and asks questions on your behalf — it can read your fabric status and policy data, never change it.
