Flow Sources. Routers and switches that have been configured to send flow data to
Flow Monitor and are enabled in Flow Monitor are listed in this column. In the list,
sources are organized at the top level. Associated interfaces for each source are
below the source name. Use the collapse and expand buttons to show or hide
source interfaces. For each source, the number of flows per minute (fpm) for Flow
devices and samples per minute (spm) for sFlow devices generated by all interfaces
on the selected source over the the last period is displayed. When you select a source
from the Flow Sources list, its total traffic is displayed in the right pane, along with all
of the other information about the source.
Note: Interfaces can be hidden; if you do not see an interface listed on this dashboard report,
check to see if it has been hidden via the Flow Interface dialog.
Tip: If you do not see a source listed that you would like to monitor, first go to the Flow
Sources dialog to configure source settings. If you still do not see the router listed, check to
see that the router is configured to send flow data. For more information, see Configuring
Flow Monitor sources or Configuring sFlow sources (on page 975).
SNMP Sources. SNMP Sources are Flow Sources that have been created for the
purpose of collecting NBAR and CBQoS statistics from a device using SNMP polling
instead of flow data. SNMP Sources appear as normal Flow Sources. For information
on creating an SNMP source, see Create Flow Source.
Aggregate Sources. Aggregate Sources are individual interfaces existing on one or
many Flow Sources that are aggregated into a single logical group that is treated as a
separate source for reporting purposes. These sources appear as folders below the
Flow Sources. For information on creating an Aggregate Source, see Creating an
Aggregate Source.
Incoming Interface Traffic. Incoming traffic is reported as a percentage of usage
according to the interface's speed, and number of incoming bytes per second (bps)
based on the last traffic to enter the interface.
Outgoing Interface Traffic. Outgoing traffic is reported as a percentage of usage
according to the interface's speed, and as the number of outgoing bytes per second
(bps) based on the last traffic to leave the interface.
Source and interface details
The right side of the page gives detailed information about a selected source or interface.
Note: If you have not enabled Flow sources at this time, a Welcome dashboard report is
displayed on the right side of the Flow Monitor Home page. Consult this dashboard report
for information on configuring your routers to send Flow data, and for other general Flow
Monitor configuration information.
