Points to Note for Application Intelligence

When configuring Application Intelligence, make sure to remember the following:

  1. For a monitoring domain, you can configure the following application only once, and you must configure it in a single monitoring session:

    • Application Visualization

    • Application Filtering

    • Application Metadata

  2. For GigaVUE V Series Node version less than 6.3.00, the following applications are not supported in the Monitoring Session:

    • Visualization, Application Filtering

    • Application Metadata

    • Application Metadata Exporter (AMX)

  3. When using Application Visualization, Application Filtering, or Application Metadata application, ensure that all the GigaVUE V Series Node in a connection are of the same version and have the same Form Factor or Instance Size. For more details on which form factor or Instance Size to use, refer to Number of Flows.
  4. When undeploying and redeploying the Monitoring session with the Application Intelligence application, follow these steps:
    1. Go to Traffic > Virtual > Orchestrated Flows and select your cloud platform. The Monitoring Sessions page appears.
    2. Select the Monitoring Session for which you enabled Secure Tunnels.
    3. Select Actions > Undeploy. The monitoring session is undeployed.
    4. Select the Monitoring Session for which you enabled Secure Tunnels.
    5. Select Actions > Edit. The Edit Monitoring Session Canvas page appears.
    6. Add the Application Intelligence applications.
    7. Modify the Number of Flows as per the below table.
        Cloud Platform

      Instance Size

      Maximum Number of Flows

      VMware

      Large (8 vCPU and 16GB RAM)

      200k

      AWS

      Large (c5n.2xlarge)

      300k

      Medium (t3a.xlarge)

      100k

      Azure

      Large (Standard_D8s_V4)

      500k

      Medium (Standard_D4s_v4)

      100k

      Nutanix

      Large (8 vCPU and 16GB RAM)

      200k

      Note:  Medium Form Factor is supported for VMware ESXi only when secure tunnels option is disabled. The maximum Number of Flows for VMware ESXi when using a medium Form Factor is 50k.

    8. Select Deploy.
After adding the above-listed applications and deploying the Monitoring Session, you cannot edit the Number of flows and Fast Mode. For details on Number of Flows and Fast Mode, refer to Number of Flows and Fast Mode.

You cannot change,

  • Once the Number of flows is added in any of the above-listed applications, the same value is applied to all the above-listed applications configured in that Monitoring Session.

  • Once Fast Mode is enabled in any of the above-listed applications, it is enabled for all the above-listed applications configured in that Monitoring Session.
You can also configure Application Intelligence with precryption, prefiltering, and secure tunnels. For details on configuring these features, refer to the Precryption, Prefiltering, and Secure Tunnels topics in the respective cloud deployment guides.Small Form Factor for VMware ESXi is not supported when using applications like Application Visualization, Application Metadata, Application Filtering. Refer to Configure GigaVUE V Series Nodes for VMware ESXi for details on deploying GigaVUE V Series Node, where you select the Form Factor.
