Top Applications Traffic Monitor (10036 / 20036)
Description
note
This Module is available upon request
This Module reports unidirectional consolidated network conversations for top Applications by bandwidth. It consolidates NetFlow records over a period of time (Data collection interval) which all have the same combination of the following fields:
- Application ID
- Source IP address
- Destination IP address
- Source port number
- Destination port number
- Layer 3 protocol
Time trigger (Data collection interval) function – executed every 30 sec (default).
- Determine top N Applications by bandwidth consumption.
- Report all consolidated conversations for top N applications.
This information is provided per NetFlow exporter.
Parameters
| Parameter Name | Description | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| Data Collection Interval, sec | Module logic execution interval | min = 5 sec, max = 600 sec, default = 30 sec |
| N – number of reported Applications | The number of top Applications reported per NetFlow exporter | min = 0, max = 100000, default = 50 (0 indicates all Applications are reported) |
| N – number of reported hosts | The number of hosts using top Applications reported per NetFlow exporter | min = 0, max = 100000, default = 50 (0 indicates all hosts for top Applications are reported) |
