Most Active Hosts for Palo Alto Networks (10033 / 20033)
Description
This Module utilizes Palo Alto Networks NetFlow v9 reporting and provides a list of most active hosts by the number of initiated connections. Most active hosts are reported by Network Device and by Destination Port over a time interval. The number of reported top most active hosts (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 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) |
| Enable(1) or disable (0) reporting by destination port | If set to 1, enable network traffic monitoring by destination port. If set to 0, report total network traffic as destination port 0 (dest_port=0) | default = 0 |
| M – maximum number of destination ports to report | Top number of ports to report | min = 1, max = 50, default = 10 |
Inputs
Palo Alto Networks NetFlow v9.
