Traffic Analyzer Widgets

Traffic Analyzer displays the following top N values, where N is the value (5, 10, 15, 20, 50, or 100) specified in the configuration settings for the Traffic Analyzer:

Top N conversations, applications, protocols and endpoints.
Top N Gigamon Interfaces
Top N Endpoints
Top N External interfaces
Top N Visibility Fabric Interfaces
Top N URLs
Top N endpoints with HTTP Errors (401, 402, 403)

Notes:

The Top N external interfaces are discovered by enabling CDP/LLDP on the Gigamon ports.
The Top N URLs and Top N Endpoints with Error Codes are only supported with IPFIX and requires Gigamon private extensions to be enabled in the Netflow Record configuration.

The traffic analyzer displays the top 5 to top 20 statistics from the aggregated NetFlow data. The analyzer can also be used to see the historical trending data from 1 hr to 1 month. The remaining data is not available for viewing.

Each instance of Traffic Analyzer shows data from the aggregated database of all physical nodes that are configured for NetFlow and tunneled to GigaVUE-FM.

The data displayed in the Top N widgets of the traffic analyzer can be selected and viewed as a time-series trend in the quick view.

Figure 979: FabricVUE Traffic Analyzer Quick View Window For Endpoints shows the traffic between two end points over a 1 week period while the Figure 980: FabricVUE Traffic Analyzer Quick View Window for Endpoints shows the TCP data from the Top Protocols traffic trending over 1 month.

The Top N Conversations and Top N URL widgets include a search feature. The Top N Conversation allows you to search for conversations between two IP addresses. The Top N URL allows you to search for a specific URL. Figure 981: Top 10 URLs show an example of traffic from the Top 10 URLs.
