Understanding How to Obtain Session Information for SRX Series Services Gateways

You can obtain information about the sessions and packet flows active on your device, including detailed information about specific sessions. (The SRX Series device also displays information about failed sessions.) You can display this information to observe activity and for debugging purposes. For example, you can use the show security flow session command:

• To display a list of incoming and outgoing IP flows, including services
• To show the security attributes associated with a flow, for example, the policies that apply to traffic belonging to that flow
• To display the session timeout value, when the session became active, for how long it has been active, and if there is active traffic on the session

For detailed information about this command, see the JUNOS Software CLI Reference.

Session information can also be logged if a related policy configuration includes the logging option. See Information Provided in Session Log Entries for SRX Series Services Gateways for details about session information provided in system logs.
