Network Routing Insights
Routing Insights gives you deeper visibility into routing by linking critical routing elements—routes, peers, interfaces, next hops, and VRFs—into a unified context. With this correlation, you can quickly see how routing components relate, assess the stability and health of routing paths, and gain clearer insight into changes that may affect network performance.
If you monitor devices via SNMP, you can view routing tables, routing neighbors, and virtual routing and forwarding (VRF).
In SolarWinds Platform Web Console, click My Dashboards > Network > Routing Insights. The dashboard shows routing information for the entire network.
Network Routing Insights
View routing information for a node
- Go to the Node Details page.
- Click the Network subview.
The Network subview displays widgets with routing information:
-
List of VRFs on node - route distinguisher, VRF name, and description
-
Routing Details - polled routing protocol, last and next poll
-
Routing Neighbors (IPv4/IPv6) - neighbor node name, protocol, status, IP address, whether it is a remote neighbor, and the last change timestamp.
-
Routing Table - destination network, CIDR, next hop, interface, metric, and source
-
Top Flapping Routes - top flapping routes in descending order, ranked by the number of flaps during the selected time period
-
Default Route Changes - any changes to default routes in the designated network that include the viewed node.
For some widgets, such as Routing Table, Top Flapping Routes or Default Route Changes, you can select a specific VRF to view related data. Main represents routes polled without a VRF specified.
