| Resolution: |
1) Monitoring Center - Analysis - All Sources profile - select all available channels - choose "Flows" graph. This is a recommended option if there are fewer than 50 flow sources. 2) Monitoring Center - Analysis - Total traffic profile - select all available channels - choose "Flows" graph. The Total traffic profile has only two channels by default so it is possible to use it even for a high number of flow sources. If the profile is unavailable, it is possible to create a new shadow profile based on the All Sources profile with only one channel containing all the traffic. 3) Configuration Center - FMC Configuration - Listening Ports - hover the mouse over the port icon to see the number of flows received in the last 5 minutes. 4) Configuration Center - Logs - System activity logs - search for "Nfcapd FPS", it is reported every 5 minutes separately for each listening port. |
