Protocol Mapping

Overview​

The Protocol Mapping section in Motadata AIOps provides a default mapping between protocols and their corresponding port numbers. This mapping is utilized by the system in the Flow Explorer to depict communication via specific ports and protocols.

By associating the correct protocol with the corresponding port number, the Flow Explorer can accurately represent network traffic and help identify the protocols used by different applications.

Go to Menu. Select System Settings . After that, select Protocol Mapping. The Protocol Mapping list is now displayed.

Default Protocol Mapping​

The default protocol mapping in Motadata AIOps includes a comprehensive list of commonly used protocols and their associated port numbers. This mapping is already configured in the system, ensuring that the Flow Explorer accurately depicts the communication protocols.

The default protocol mapping is continuously updated to include new protocols and their corresponding port numbers.

Custom Protocol Mapping​

Motadata AIOps also provides the flexibility to define custom protocol mapping if required. Users can add new protocols and assign them to specific port numbers using the custom mapping feature.

By defining custom protocol mapping, organizations can accurately represent their unique network architecture and communication protocols in the Flow Explorer.

Please note that modifying the default protocol mapping or defining custom protocol mapping should be done with caution. Ensure that the mapping accurately reflects the protocols and port numbers used in your network environment.

You can also create a new protocol mapping and map a new protocol to a port number as per the network infrastructure setup in your organisation. Click on the Creat Protocol Mapping to create a new application mapping.

With the Protocol Mapping feature in Motadata AIOps, you can visualize network traffic in the Flow Explorer with accurate protocol and port representations, allowing for better analysis and understanding of application communication.
