Viewing NetFlow Processing Statistics

If NetFlow plugin is deployed in a certain Iotellect Network Manager installation, each device account provides a Flow Collection Statistics variable used to track flow processing for this device (sensor).

Flow Collection Statistics variable can be accessed via View Status dialog of the device account. This variable has the following fields:

Total Flow Count. Number of flows that was received from the sensor.

  • Dropped Flow Count. Number of flows that was received from the sensor and dropped because they match interfaces disabled for flow collection.
  • Loss Rate. Percentage of flows that were not received (most likely due to network overload). This number is calculated by tracking down flow sequence numbers.
