Gateway Diagnostics	Description
Ping	Runs pings directly from the gateway to outside the Aviatrix-managed network or to any resource inside the network.
Packet Capture	Capture packets on any gateway. Filter on host and port number and specify the capture time. Search and filter by time, source address, destination address, source port, destination port, protocol, flags, length, and info. Select the interface on the physical or virtual interface you want to capture on. Click Start to start the capture, click Stop to stop the capture, then click Download to download the pcap file. The pcap file can be viewed by Wireshark.
Traceroute	Run trace route.
Tracepath	Discover the MTU on the path if the router supports it.
Connectivity	Test the connectivity of the gateway to a specified host running on a specified TCP or UDP port.
Active Sessions	View sessions that are active on the selected gateway. You can filter active sessions by search criteria. For example, a search on a specific port to see if the gateway has an action session on that port.
Interface Stats	View interface statistics about the gateway. The number of interfaces or tunnels associated with the gateway is displayed. Click on the name of an interface or tunnel to see its statistical information.
Services	Check the status of gateway services and restart services.
Diagnostics	Run a comprehensive diagnostics report that you can download and analyze.
