Reporting on WAN Uplink Usage for Graceful Failover

Hi all;

 

Is there a report or dashboard where I can tell what connections might still be running over the failover path after a Graceful failover / failback? Our failover WAN connection is a metered Verizon connection so I'm seeing some things still run over the failover eating the data bucket.

 

I'll probably just put it on IMMEDIATE - but was curious what's clinging on to the backup connection.

 

Thank you!

Joseph

@jcbrannan Thanks for taking the time to share this with the community. After a graceful failover, existing flows on the back-up link would continue to used that link until the flow is stopped or no longer exist, while new flows would start going out the active link.

In terms of reporting(This would fall under a feature request), and the best way to see which traffic is going out through the backup WAN link would be to take a packet capture on that link.
