User interface of the solution
Kaspersky SD-WAN can be managed through the orchestrator web interface. You can use the sections that are displayed in the menu (see the figure below) to configure individual components of the solution. When you go to a section, an additional menu with the section contents is displayed.
Kaspersky SD-WAN menu
The menu contains the following sections:
- Dashboard (
) — In this section, you can view information about the current state of solution components such as CPE devices, VNFs, and PNFs.
- Infrastructure (
) — In this section, you can manage the network infrastructure, for example, create domains, add data centers and VIMs. In addition, all SD-WAN Controllers available to you are displayed here.
- Catalog (
) — In this section, depending on your role, you can do the following:
- The platform administrator can upload VNF/PNF packages and create network service templates.
- A tenant administrator can create network services.
- SD-WAN (
) — In this section, you can manage CPE devices, SD-WAN instances, UNIs, as well as manage firmware and device certificates.
- Scheduler (
) — In this section, you can manage delayed tasks.
- Log (
) — In this section, you can view the logs of various components of the solution. For example, modifications made by users to CPE device configuration are displayed here.
- Tenants (
) — In this section, you can create tenants and provide various solution components to the tenants, such as CPE devices, VIMs, and UNIs. You can also use this section to connect to the orchestrator web interface of the tenant as an administrator.
- Users (
) — In this section, you can create users, user groups, and access permissions, as well as configure domain authentication.
- Confirmation (

- In the upper part of the page, click the Actions button and in the drop-down list, select End session.
Configuring the Docker container log verbosity
Kaspersky SD-WAN automatically keeps logs of Docker containers, which are used to deploy and support solution components. You can select the verbosity level of these logs to monitor containers and restore them more quickly if failures occur.
When you open the log, the following buttons for selecting the level of detail are displayed in the upper part of the page, as well as next to each Docker container:
- Click TRACE to log the most complete information, including debug statements, for advanced troubleshooting.
- Click DEBUG to log detailed information, including variable values and function call records, for troubleshooting and understanding the way in which the container operates.
- Click INFO to log general information for understanding the way in which the container operates and looking up important events. This level of detail is selected by default for all containers.
- Click WARN to log errors or events that do not call for immediate intervention from the user, but may compromise the operation of the container.
- Click ERROR to log errors or exceptions that may compromise the operation of the container. Such records often require immediate intervention from the user.
To configure Docker container log verbosity:
- In the lower part of the menu, click the settings button
and in the drop-down list, select Log settings.
A table of Docker containers is displayed.
- Select the Docker container log verbosity:
- To configure the verbosity level of all Docker containers, click the corresponding button in the General logging level section.
- To configure the verbosity level of an individual Docker container, click the corresponding button in the Logging level column.
