SD-WAN and the new GUI (Angular UI): Is it really better ?
Since version 4.0 VMware is working on the new (Angular)UI and still in version 5.0.0.x only parts have been converted up to now. I think now it is time to look and compare, but also see where there are still weaknesses in the new UI. One meaningful enhancement is the possibility to also see under PATHS the existing Overlay Tunnels from that device Unfortunately it takes some time until new paths are visible here and for some time you do not see any usage It is very complicated to get actual information out of that graphics as it seems that they are updates only every 5 minutes The above picture was taken at ... and it seems, that this tunnel close at 10:03, which is not the case, it is still running. I completely understand, that for bigger SD-WAN networks it is impossible to have up-to-date information ready immediately, but I would expect to have a similar live view for an overlay path or for all overlay paths, like you get on the underlay, or at least an actual path state info
