Identifying the Source of the Flow Data
date_range
19-May-22
SUMMARY The Flow Source and Flow Interface
fields on the Network Activity tab can help you identify which
Network Insights appliance that the flow was received from.
The Flow Source field shows the hostname of the managed host that received the flow.
The Flow Interface field shows the specific network interface that received the flows on the managed host. For standard network interfaces, the network interface name matches the names in the underlying Red Hat Enterprise Linux OS. For appliances with a Napatech card, the interface always appears as napatech0.
On the Network Activity tab, the flow source and flow interface appear in a single Flow Source/Interface field. In search results, the fields appear as two separate columns.
For example, the following image shows search results that include flows that are received from a
Network Insights managed host with a hostname of shortblack. The flows are
received from different network interfaces on the single appliance.
