Bandwidth Consumption per Application and Users for Cisco AVC (10435 / 20435)
Description​
This Module utilizes Cisco Application Visibility and Control (AVC) (https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/routers/avc-control.html) NetFlow v9 reporting and provides a list of most active applications and users by traffic. Most active applications and users are reported by Network Device over a time interval. The number of reported top most active applications and users (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 |
Application name list | A list of watched applications. If specified, the traffic is reported by specified applications, and all other traffic is summed up under app_name=other. If the list is empty, the traffic is reported by all applications. | |
List of known server destination port numbers | List of server destination ports to be used to determine which host is a client and which is a server. If the list is empty all ports are reported | e.g. 53, 80, 443 |
Share of total traffic reported, % | Reported percent of total traffic by application by user | e.g. 50 - indicates that all application/user entries consuming 50% of traffic are reported; min = 1%, max = 100%, default = 80% |
Report selected applications only (1) | Enable/Disable reporting selected apps only (1 - report only apps in the list, 0 - report all apps) | default = 0 |
Inputs​
Cisco AVC NetFlow v9 (including Cisco WLC NetFlow v9) Data and Options.
