NetFlow: Application Metrics

The Applications tab lists all applications that pass through the specific network traffic device over a point of time. You can view the Application Name and the Traffic the application generates in bytes and automatic units.

Here is a video to demonstrate how to view application metrics on Site24x7's NetFlow Analyzer:

Top N applications

1. Log in to Site24x7.
2. Navigate to Network > NetFlow > NetFlow Devices.
3. Select the device for which you wish to see the top N applications.
4. Navigate to the Application tab and toggle to Application on the top-right portion of the page.
5. Here, you can sort the list of applications by Traffic, Traffic (%), or even the Application Name to view the top N applications.
6. Additionally, you can filter the traffic according to a specific range by providing values for the Min and Max fields (minimum and maximum). You can also filter by the application name.
7. Click the graph  icon in the Show Graph column to view the data as a graph for each application.
