You can create Reserved Seating rules to help ensure that reports include the port and protocol combinations that interest you, regardless of traffic volume or rates. The rules create ‘reserved seats’ for the ports that are used by those protocols so the data is sure to be included in reports.
For example, during an application rollout you may want to create Reserved Seating rules to collect data for a specific protocol and port that is used by the application. The protocol is not included in the Top N group--the group of protocols with the highest traffic volume or utilization rate. Without the Reserved Seating rule, the data for that protocol will not be included in some reports. For example, the protocol will not be included in the Top N Protocols report for an interface.
Note: The data that CA Network Flow Analysis typically collects is described in How Data Is Collected.
You can specify a maximum of 50 Reserved Seating rules.
