Top Hosts with most Connections for Cisco ASA (10021 / 20021)
Description
This Module handles Cisco ASA NSEL. It provides top N (by the number of connections) consumers (users) by Network Device by Protocol (Destination Port) over a time interval T. Cisco ASA customers may turn on NSEL at the highest reporting level, and still receive consolidated data (several syslog messages) every T seconds. 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 |
| Application protocol (l4_dst_port) list | List of watched layer 4 destination ports. If specified, the traffic is reported by specified ports, and all other traffic is summed up under dest_port=0. If the list is empty, the traffic is reported by all actual destination ports. | e.g. 80, 443 |
| N – number of reported hosts | Top N (number of reported destinations) | min = 0, max = 100000, default = 50 (0 indicates all hosts are reported) |
