Cloud onRamp Dashboard
Use the Cloud onRamp dashboard to configure the Cloud onRamp for SaaS service and to view the performance of cloud applications for which you have enabled Cloud onRamp service.
Cloud onRamp service calculates a value called the Viptela Quality of Experience (vQoE). The vQoE value weighs loss and latency using a formula customized for each application. For example, email applications tolerate latency better than video applications do, and video applications tolerate loss better than email does. The vQoE value ranges from zero to ten, with zero being the worst quality and ten being the best. Cloud onRamp service computes vQoE values for applications and paths, then assigns applications to the paths that best match their vQoE value. Cloud onRamp service periodically recalculates vQoE values for paths to ensure ongoing optimal application performance.

View Application Performance
Each pane in the Cloud onRamp dashboard displays the performance of a cloud application.
Each application pane displays the number of vEdge routers accessing the application and the quality of the connection:
- The bottom status bar displays green for devices experiencing good quality.
- The middle status bar displays yellow for devices experiencing average quality.
- The top status bar displays red for devices experiencing bad quality.
The number to the right of each status bar indicates how many devices are experiencing that quality of connection.
