Chapter 2 Setting Up The NAM Traffic Analyzer

Managed Device

Custom Export

You can enable Custom Export to send response time data to an external reporting console such as NetQoS SuperAgent.

After you enable Custom Export, you may also want to enable the “Export Passthrough Response Time” option when creating a WAAS Data Source (Setup > NAM Data Sources > Auto Create).

To enable the NAM to export response time data to an external console:

Step 1 From the NAM GUI, choose Setup > Data Export > Custom Export.

The Response Time Export window displays.

Step 2 Check the Enable Export check box.

Step 3 Enter the IP address of the external reporting console in the IP Address field.

Step 4 Enter the UDP port number of the external console (blank is default).

Step 5 Optionally, click Export Non-WAASTraffic.

This enables the export of SPAN and other data as well as WAAS traffic.

Step 6 Click Submit to enable traffic export, or click Reset to clear the changes from the screen.
