In SD-WAN guides if there is,
- [any reference to master] OR
- [[if a CLI command (for NMS or Kubernetes or Redis) contains master] AND/OR
- [its output contains master]], it means leader or control plane.
And, if there is any reference to slave or worker, it means follower or agent.

Facts & Limitations
The following notes are some facts and limitations that you must be aware of.
The vManage overall rate limit is 450 requests per second. Currently, it has an API route related to device statistics which has a much lower rate limit of 43 requests per minute (or 0.72 requests per second). These rate limits are used as default rates in the Viptela collector configuration.
For the Viptela collector, each Agent has a vManage session.
Please refer to https://developer.cisco.com/docs/sdwan/#!browsing-returned-results-sorting-results-filtering-results-and-rate-limits/understanding-pagination for details.
Collector handles the case change scenario for vManage data. Migration script removes the device / object group rules and adds new case-insensitive rules in the next run of deviceDescription / objectDescription agent.
- Collector handles the case change only and not a complete name change.
- In case of device name changes, collector does not change the actual device name in SevOne NMS. However, it keeps pushing data in the existing device.
- In case of site / tenant name changes, collector does not update the device / object group name in SevOne NMS. However, it holds all the devices / objects available in the group.
- In case of interface name changes, collector does not update the interface, interface queue, or tunnel name. However, it keeps pushing data for that object.
- Collector does not support a scenario in which the device / interface name is same with a case difference in vManage. For example, device names, abc and ABC are not allowed.
When upgrading the collector from a newly deployed SD-WAN 2.9 or SD-WAN 2.10 OVA to SD-WAN 8.0.0, please perform the steps mentioned in SD-WAN Viptela Collector Troubleshooting Guide or SD-WAN Versa Collector Troubleshooting Guide > section Upgrade Collector.
Tunnel data is coming from two different sources (sdwanB2BSlamLog and monStatsLog). Hence, the data gap might be visible in SevOne NMS.

Resolved Issues
| Component/s | Key | Release Notes |
|---|---|---|
| SDWAN Fortinet | S1NPM-109504 | Fortinet Collector: During a fresh installation or upgrade, the SD-WAN plugin on Fortinet devices now automatically activates the HTTP plugin. As a result, HTTP objects are created, and data collection functions as expected. |
| SDWAN Solution | S1NPM-112216 | Platform: With multiple users in SevOne Data Insight, the post-check task completes as intended. |
| SDWAN VeloCloud | S1NPM-112223 | VeloCloud Collector: During a fresh installation or upgrade, the SD-WAN plugin on VeloCloud devices now automatically activates the HTTP plugin. As a result, HTTP objects are created, and data collection functions as expected. This issue has now been resolved. |
| SDWAN VeloCloud | S1NPM-114443 | VeloCloud Collector: After upgrading to SevOne NMS 7.2.0 from 7.1.0, all relevant attributes, including Coordinates, Model, and Serial Number are displaying as expected in SevOne NMS 7.2.0. |
| SDWAN Fortinet | Fortinet Collector: After upgrading to SevOne NMS 7.2.0 from 7.1.0, all relevant attributes, including Coordinates, Model, and Serial Number are displaying as expected in SevOne NMS 7.2.0. | |
| SDWAN Solution | S1NPM-114600 | Flow Augmentor: Source template contains the missing field id, 48, and sampling rate. |
| SDWAN VeloCloud | S1NPM-115128 | VeloCloud Collector: During the installation or upgrade of the collector, the HTTP Poller for the orchestrator device works as expected. |
| SDWAN Solution | S1NPM-115437 | Flow Augmentor: Source template passes all the fields and templates after Flow Augmentation. |
| SDWAN Viptela | S1NPM-115470 | Platform: In certain scenarios, FlowInterfaceManager displays ifIndex instead of interfaceName / objectName. This is acceptable and details can viewed in Support Ticket DT436910. Duplicate object mapping has also been addressed with this release. |
| SDWAN VeloCloud | S1NPM-116862 | When upgrading SevOne Data Insight version 7.2.x to 8.0.x, adding the VeloCloud datasource now allows the VeloCloud SDWAN Site Summary reports and their corresponding widgets to load as expected. |

Known Issues
- The default interval for the updation of the augmenter cache is 24 hours. If a policy is changed or added on vManage, it is necessary to update the cache forcefully to augment the flows correctly. Please run the PolicyParserAgent to update the cache forcefully.
Note: Applicable to Viptela Collector only.
-
kubectl exec <COLLECTOR_POD_ID> -- ./collector-viptela -run PolicyParserAgent - To find the <COLLECTOR_POD_ID>, execute the following command.
kubectl get pods
-
- Data gaps might be seen on the graphs in SevOne NMS for indicators of the objects of type SD-WAN Device Health as they are being polled at different timestamps. For example, SevOne NMS shows the data for the following indicators related to SD-WAN Device Health object.
- memory_utilization
- disk_utilization
- cpu_utilization
When querying data for these indicators from vManage, if the data is missing for any of the indicators, then the data gap might be visible in SevOne NMS.
- If you are using SevOne NMS version < 5.7.2.23 (without the NMS-75375 hotfix), you may experience an impact on the performance of the collector. At a same time, collectors will not support tunnels > 10k.
- Widgets
- When the alternate name is enabled in SevOne Data Insight, Network Topology Widget 2.8.x / 2.9 does not show any tunnels for SD-WAN 2.6 collectors.
| Component/s | Key | Known Issues |
|---|---|---|
| SDWAN Cisco Catalyst | S1NPM-77627 | Viptela / Versa Collectors: When installing / upgrading the collector via GUI, you can proceed to the Upgrade SOA stage in the following scenarios:
|
| SDWAN Solution, SDWAN Versa, SDWAN Cisco Catalyst | S1NPM-100519 | Platform: Depending on the scale of the environment, jaeger may quickly consume its allotted memory and in turn, restart. The maximum allotted memory can be adjusted when Jaeger is enabled. |
| SDWAN Solution, SDWAN Versa | S1NPM-100816 | Versa Collector: Tunnel objects will be pinned to their respective object groups either after 24 hours or according to the discovery schedule in SevOne NMS. |
| SDWAN Viptela | S1NPM-101063 | Viptela Collector: When updating the Installer Agent, the BFD_SESSIONS cache key gets updated based on received BFDSession data. The TunnelStatAgent parses the BFD Session data and updates the availability and transition indicators accordingly.
If BFD Session data is not found for a specific object, the following occurs:
|
| SDWAN Cisco Catalyst | S1NPM-109664 | Viptela Collector: When the NEXT_HOP_IP field is not present in a flow, the following fields will be set to Unknown.
|
| SDWAN Solution | S1NPM-110248 | Platform: In a multi-node, multi-vDirector setup, the Collector and Augmenter Evidence Framework is currently unable to collect evidence information or generate the .tar.gz file. However, the must-gather functionality continues to work as expected. |
| SDWAN Cisco Catalyst | S1NPM-110676 | Viptela Collector: Upgrading the collector from version 6.7.5 or above to Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) versions 6.8 or above fails with the error No package matching 'convert2rhel' found because the yum metadata still refers to the previously installed CentOS package.
Workaround: Run the following command and repeat the upgrade process. For more details, please refer to SD-WAN Viptela Collector Upgrade Process Guide.
|
| SDWAN Solution | S1NPM-112181 |
Platform: Interface statistics are not generated for the sub-interfaces; an expected behavior from Cisco. sdwan::device-interface objects for interfaces are created to provide interface statistics datapoints. Since the mapping is performed for interface objects available in SevOne NMS, the ifIndex is not renamed to interface name for the sub-interfaces in Flow Interface Manager. |
| SDWAN VeloCloud | S1NPM-112408 | VeloCloud Collector: When upgrading VeloCloud from 7.0.0 or above to version 7.1.0, the VeloCloudSDWAN-DI-OOTB-Reports.tar file is still present in the /config/collectors/sdwan/velocloud/spk directory. This is an expected behavior. |
| SDWAN Viptela | S1NPM-112547 / S1NPM-112715 |
Viptela Collector: After successful upgrade from version 7.1.0 to 7.1.x, the Viptela Summary Report in GUI displays a SevOne Data Insight migration error as shown below. Workaround: Please click on Try to load anyway to proceed with loading the report without any conflicts. |
| SDWAN Viptela | S1NPM-112731 | Viptela Collector: When installing / upgrading the collector, running the command below to import the OOTB reports during post-check, may trigger an error. This is an expected behavior.
