Sample Flow Visualization

If you click on any of the source application or the destination application, you will see raw level communication between host and receiver. You can export the data for every segment in PNG, JPEG, or CSV format.

Detailed Communication between Host and Receiver

• Volume: This tab displays the information related to the volume of flow data that occupies network traffic.
• Flows: This tab displays all the information related to number of flows in the network traffic.
• Packets: The tab displays all the information related to the number of packets sent in network traffic.

Widget Details

All 3 tabs of Application View has 10 widgets. The widgets gives you information about top resources and flows based on the parameter (the parameter is the tab heading). See the example of ‘Flow’ widgets. Similar are the widgets for ‘Volume’ and ‘Packet’.
