Abstract

Some embodiments of the invention provide a method of detecting and remediating anomalies in an SD-WAN implemented by multiple forwarding elements (FEs) located at multiple sites connected by the SD-WAN. The method receives, from the multiple FEs, multiple sets of flow data associated with application traffic that traverses the multiple FEs. The method uses a first set of machine-trained processes to analyze the multiple sets of flow data in order to identify at least one anomaly associated with at least one particular FE in the multiple FEs. The method uses a second set of machine-trained processes to identify at least one remedial action for remediating the identified anomaly. The method implements the identified remedial action by directing an SD-WAN controller deployed in the SD-WAN to implement the identified remedial action.
