Top Flows by Interface

The Top Flows by Interface views in CA Performance Center are graphical summaries of high-flow interfaces across the enterprise.

The view includes the following information for up to 10 top interfaces that transmitted flows during the reporting period:

Name

Identifies the interface by its device name/interface name (Y-Axis).

Volume

Measures the number of flows that the interface transmitted (for example, in millions of flows) (X-Axis).

By default, views and reports show the most recent 24 hours of data.

To see the Top Flows by Interface views in CA Performance Center, go to one of the following locations:

• Infrastructure Overview dashboard
• Management: Management Overview dashboard
• Summary-type view in a custom dashboard

Find Flow Count Data in NFA Console Views and Reports

To see the flow count for high-volume interfaces in the NFA console, drill into the Flows view for an interface or run a Flow Forensics report:

1. Click an interface name or bar in one of the Top Interfaces views on the Enterprise Overview page.

   The Interfaces page opens and shows the Flows view for the selected interface. The trend charts include lines that indicate the number of inbound and outbound flows.

2. (Optional) Run a Flow Forensics report to show the exact flow count for one or more interfaces:
   1. Click Flow Forensics and configure a Flow Forensics report: For example, accept Conversation Sessions as the report type. To include multiple interfaces, add a filter such as "RA: Interface."
   2. Run the Flow Forensics report

      The Flow Forensic table opens and shows interface flow counts and extensive information about each flow.
