Calculation of values in the TOP statistics
Information
Summary: |
Calculation of values total flows, bytes and packets in TOP statistics is different depending on type of TOP statistics. Output bytes and packets can be also different if you enable counter of these values. |
Environment: |
Product: Flowmon OS Version: Any Platform: Any |
Question/Problem Description: |
Why sum of values in TOP statistics does not match with total values flows, bytes and packets? |
Steps to Reproduce: | |
Error Message: | |
Defect Number: | |
Enhancement Number: | |
Cause: | |
Resolution: |
TOP statistics based on the parameter TOP statistics with used filter TOP statistics based on IP conversations If the flow source also generates output bytes and output packets value, the Collector will include them if in Netflow V9 Fields Counter of output packets and Counter of output bytes is enabled (Configuration Center -> FMC Configuration -> Flow Database Fields -> NETFLOW V9 FIELDS). Most flow sources like Flowmon Probe do not distinguish between input and output bytes and generate flows only as input bytes. Therefore display of output bytes in TOP statiscs is not possible by design. |
