Customizing CA Network Flow Analysis › Define Templates for Interface Names and Descriptions

Define Templates for Interface Names and Descriptions

Change the rules that determine how interface names and descriptions appear in the NFA console by using any or all of the following procedures:

• Create an interface template and make it the active template for CA Network Flow Analysis.
• Edit the current interface template.
• Refine the interface naming convention for specific NFA console views by using the Application Settings page.

You can create multiple interface templates, but only the currently selected interface template determines the names and descriptions of interfaces in the NFA console, its views, and its printed reports.

The currently selected interface template also affects interface names and descriptions in some CA Performance Center views of CA Network Flow Analysis data. The following locations in CA Performance Center may display different interface names and descriptions: Interface Pages (Details tab), Inventory pages, and Trend views. To customize interface descriptions in CA Performance Center, apply Interface Description Overrides to specific domains.
