Which plane is used to collect vSmart Control Connection statistics for monitoring from the vManage dashboard?

The control plane (vSmart) is responsible for establishing and maintaining overlay routes and policies, but it doesn't collect its own statistics for external monitoring; it generates the data that the management plane consumes.

The data plane (WAN Edge devices) is responsible for forwarding user traffic and encrypting/encapsulating data, not for collecting control connection statistics.

The management plane, primarily represented by the vManage NMS, is responsible for monitoring, configuration, and troubleshooting of the SD-WAN fabric. Collecting statistics about vSmart control connections falls under these responsibilities, allowing administrators to view their status and performance from the vManage dashboard.

The orchestration plane (vBond) is responsible for initial authentication and orchestration between SD-WAN components, but not for ongoing statistical collection and monitoring of control plane connections.
