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.
