Overview

This article provides clear steps on how to use Netflow Flow Navigator.

 

Using the Flow Navigator

The Flow Navigator allows you to create your own custom NetFlow views.

Using the Flow Navigator, you can apply filters on all monitored objects (summary filtered views) or you can specify objects that you want to filter further (detail filtered views).

Note: All views filtered by a node display only ingress or egress data in order to maintain the current performance level. If you select the Both option, the default setting for the view will be applied instead.

The following sections provide specific information to aid the configuration of the following custom filtered traffic views using the Flow Navigator:
