  • Utilize the WAN Edge Insights section to examine the timestamps of error messages, facilitating correlation with device log messages.
  • Review the output of command >show interfaces extensive [interface-name] on the WAN interface to detect any interface flapping that may trigger the error message.
  • Conduct a comprehensive health check on the device to eliminate other potential issues or uncover additional clues regarding the error message. Refer to [Internal Only] Generic system health check commands for detailed instructions on performing a health check.
  • In this scenario, the health check yielded satisfactory results. However, the logs were overwritten, rendering log analysis inconclusive. The disconnection from Mist Cloud lasted only 2 minutes and occurred once. This could be a transient or isolated issue. It is advisable to monitor the device closely and promptly collect log files should the issue recur to accurately ascertain its cause.
  • These steps will assist you in gathering more information and identifying potential causes of these errors.
