Top Bandwidth Consumers for Palo Alto Networks (10030 / 20030)
Description
This Module utilizes Palo Alto Networks NetFlow v9 reporting and provides a list of top network bandwidth consumers operating on the internal network. Top bandwidth consumers are reported by Network Device and by Destination Port over a time interval. Only TCP/IP and UDP traffic is accounted for. The number of reported top consumers (N) and the observation interval (T, sec) are configurable. This information is provided per NetFlow exporter.
Parameters
| Parameter Name | Description | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| Data Collection Interval, sec | Module logic execution interval | min = 10 sec, max = 600 sec, default = 30 sec |
| N - number of reported bandwidth consumers | Top N (number of reported consumers) | min = 0, max = 100000, default = 50 (0 indicates all hosts are reported) |
Inputs
Palo Alto Networks NetFlow v9.
