Flow Monitor: Top Senders<br />

This dashboard report shows the devices generating the most traffic traveling in the selected<br />

direction (Inbound, Outbound, Inbound and Outbound, or Bounce) on the selected interface.<br />

You can choose to display and sort sender traffic by bytes, packets, or flows using the Display<br />

and sort by option on the report configuration dialog. Providing alternate sorting methods<br />

allows you to monitor and identify hosts that are the largest consumers of interface resources<br />

other than bandwidth.<br />

By default, devices are listed by hostname, however you can configure this report to list the<br />

devices by IP address by selecting Display IP Address instead of Hostname on the report<br />

configuration dialog.<br />

Sender. Displays the hosts that are the top senders on the interface.<br />

You can select one of the following units to display and sort the specific items in the<br />

report using the Display and sort by option on the report configuration dialog. The<br />

selected option will appear as the first column header in the report and will be used<br />

to sort the top "n" items.<br />

Bytes. Displays the total number of bytes transmitted for the specific item in the<br />

report category for the selected date range.<br />

Packets. Displays the total number of packets for the specific item in the report<br />

category for the selected date range.<br />

for the selected date range.<br />

selected unit (e.g. Kbps, Mbps, or Gbps) for the specific item in the report category for<br />

the selected date range.<br />

specific item in the report category for the selected date range.<br />
