Troubleshooting guides

MTR, traceroute and HAR analysis for the firewalls and security clouds engineers actually run: Zscaler, Palo Alto, Fortinet, Check Point, Cisco and Juniper.

Palo Alto Networks

MTR on Palo Alto Firewalls: Traceroute and Packet Loss per Hop

PAN-OS has no mtr. Traceroute from the right source and test GlobalProtect and Prisma Access paths.

Zscaler

Zscaler MTR Test: Trace the Path to ZIA and Zscaler Service Edges

Find your Zscaler service edge, test it over TCP 443 and read loss per hop like ZDX Cloud Path.

Fortinet

FortiGate MTR & Traceroute: execute traceroute and Packet Loss

execute traceroute-options, ping-options and an outside-in MTR to your FortiGate WAN.

Check Point

Check Point MTR & Traceroute on Gaia: What Works and What to Use

Gaia ships no mtr. Traceroute, asg_tracert on Maestro and an online MTR instead.

Cisco & Juniper

MTR on Cisco and Juniper: traceroute monitor, Extended Traceroute and More

Junos traceroute monitor is a real MTR. IOS and ASA need traceroute plus repeated pings.

Any device

How to Run MTR on Windows, Linux and macOS (and Read the Report)

mtr, pathping and WinMTR commands, TCP mode, and how to read Loss%, Avg and StDev.

Zscaler & Palo Alto

HAR File Analysis for Zscaler and Palo Alto Troubleshooting

Capture a HAR for a Zscaler or Palo Alto case, spot block pages and SAML loops, sanitize it.
