Oracle Cloud GEN II - Network Path Analyzer Tool

NPA Tool with no extra billing cost and below are highlights of tool , I found very good and will definitely help to troubleshoot network as well helps to provide details data to customers when they complaint about slowness .

  • Bases on Open Source network configuration analysis - Batfish

  • Troubleshoot endpoint reachability issues

  • NPA collects and analyzes the network configuration

  • Use to identify virtual network configuration, connectivity & endpoint reachability issues.

  • Defines Source & Destination IP & Ports

  • You can troubleshoot routing and security misconfigurations that are causing reachability issues

  • Troubleshoot issues within OCI networks, Hybrid Cloud network, multicloud networks

  • Uses a full configuration snapshot for analysis

  • Visualizes the network paths in the presentation of the analysis results.

  • You can use to perform on-demand Validations

What is Network Path Analyzer?

Network Path Analyzer is a network reachability analysis tool based on the real-time network configuration.

Its primary data input is the network routing and security configuration in a customer tenancy, augmented with key network runtime state data, such as the status of a load balancer backend set or the state of a FastConnect virtual circuit.

Network Path Analyzer answers the following questions:

  • Can the two endpoints reach each other as the business needs them to?

  • If they can’t, why? What is missing?

  • If they can, how? Over which routing paths, using which security policies?

Benefits of Network Path Analyzer

  • Troubleshoot reachability issues caused by misconfiguration much faster, significantly reducing the Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR) for this type of outage

  • Proactively verify and validate the network routing and security policy configuration for your reachability intents before even starting to send application traffic

  • A tool to perform on-demand validation of the logical network paths to match your intent

How to use Network Path Analyzer

  • Network Path Analyzer is directly available under Networking on the Oracle Cloud Console.

  • You only need to create a path analysis and run it.

  • An API is available for you to programmatically create, manage, and run your path analyses
