How to monitor WAN and VPN outages?

Question

Hi, 
 we have problems on remote/branch offices with ISP, because PPPoE internet link is dropping sporadically, sometimes every few minutes, sometimes it is OK for whole month. Drop is not significant in time units, just a disconnect and reconnect usually, but VPN also drops and does not re-establish back. 
 Now, with previous Draytek routers it was just a swift with an eye over dashboard, where WAN and VPN last uptimes were shown. I imediattely knew whether link is stable or not. 
 What about now with XGS-136 and XGS-87 in branch offices? I cannot find such an indicator anywhere, except detailed log examination, which takes time. Anybody have an idea maybe how could I simply see latest WAN and VPN links uptimes in XGS interface?

You could configure a SD-WAN Gateway and Profile without using it. 
 It will ping / monitor whatever you want and how often you want and giving you SD-WAN Reports of up/downtimes.

Gateways and SD-WAN Profiles are completely out of affect, as long as you are not using them in a SD-WAN Route. So you can setup a SD-WAN Profile with many Gateways, using the monitoring technique you want.
