Number of flows that were aggregated default for N is 4 Incoming counter with length N x 8 bits for the number of packets associated with an IP Flow Incoming counter with length N x 8 bits for number of bytes associated with an IP Flow. To gain an understanding of what data is contained within Cisco’s NetFlow v9 take a look at this chart: Field Type

Alternatively, to see what data is contained within IPFIX – an alternative to NetFlow – see our similar post on IPFIX. Real user, and synthetic monitoring of web applications from outside the firewall.NetFlow is a rich source of metadata (data about data) that is normally generated by network infrastructure devices, such as routers, firewalls, switches, wireless access points and so on, about the network traffic that is passing through those devices.ĭespite containing lots of data, the generation of NetFlow by the network device adds very little CPU overhead and consumes very little bandwidth when being sent across the network to a collection and analysis tool, such as Scrutinizer by Plixer. Real-time live tailing, searching, and troubleshooting for cloud applications and environments.
