Bandwidth Consumption per Application for Palo Alto Networks (10034 / 20034)

Description

This Module utilizes Palo Alto Networks NetFlow v9 reporting and provides a list of most active applications by traffic. Most active applications are reported by Network Device over a time interval. The number of reported top most active applications (N) and the observation interval (T, sec) are configurable. This information is provided per NetFlow exporter.

Parameters
