Quick Answer
The answer is diagnose sys sdwan member-sla, diagnose sys sdwan health-check, and diagnose sys sdwan sla-log. These three CLI commands are correct because they directly expose the real-time status of performance SLA probes, including probe destinations, jitter, latency, packet loss, and whether the SLA targets are being met. The diagnose sys sdwan member-sla command shows per-member SLA compliance, while diagnose sys sdwan health-check displays the raw probe results for each health-check server, and diagnose sys sdwan sla-log provides a historical log of SLA state transitions. On the Fortinet NSE 7 Advanced Security NSE7 exam, this topic tests your ability to validate SD-WAN rule steering and link quality monitoring—a common trap is confusing diagnose sys sdwan status (which shows interface roles) with the probe-specific commands. To remember the trio, think of the acronym MHS: Member-sla, Health-check, and Sla-log. A useful memory tip is “MHS probes your SD-WAN health”—each command reveals a different layer of the probe verification process.
This NSE7 practice question tests your understanding of advanced networking and sd-wan. The scenario asks you to isolate a root cause — eliminate options that address a different problem before choosing. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
An administrator is troubleshooting SD-WAN and wants to verify that performance SLA probes are being sent correctly. Which THREE CLI commands can provide information about the SLA probes and their results?
diagnose sys sdwan health-check
This command shows health check results.
diagnose sys sdwan probe-detail
This shows detailed probe information.
diagnose sys sdwan member-sla
This shows SLA status per member.
diagnose sys sdwan route
Why wrong: This shows SD-WAN routes, not SLA probes.
diagnose sys sdwan config
Why wrong: This shows the SD-WAN configuration, not probe status.
Answer choices
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
diagnose sys sdwan health-check
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
This question should be treated as a scenario, not a definition check. Identify the problem, the constraint and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.

Common exam traps
Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.
Trap categories for this question
Command / output trap
This shows SD-WAN routes, not SLA probes.
Detailed technical explanation
This question should be treated as a scenario, not a definition check. Identify the problem, the constraint and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
A practitioner preparing for the NSE7 exam encounters this exact type of scenario on the job. The correct answer here is not the most general option — it is the best answer for the specific constraint described. Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option. Real exam questions reward reading the full scenario before eliminating options, because the constraint defines which answer fits.

Variation 1. An administrator configures a performance SLA for SD-WAN health checks. The SLA uses a ping probe to 8.8.8.8 every 2 seconds with a latency threshold of 150 ms and jitter threshold of 20 ms. After some time, the SD-WAN rule still shows the member as 'dead'. Which command should the administrator use to verify the probe results?
mediumWhy B: The 'diagnose npu np6 sdf-wan health-check' command shows detailed probe statistics per member, including latency, jitter, and packet loss, helping to identify why the SLA is failing.
