Monitor firewalls
Monitoring your firewalls provides visibility and helps ensure service availability. With SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted, you can monitor your VPN tunnels (site-to-site VPNs, GlobalProtect VPNs) and monitor the health and readiness of your firewalls.
Display security alerts, blocked traffic, VPN connections, and bandwidth usage.
Supported vendors include Cisco ASA and Palo Alto.
