Devices

 

Combine devices, Separate devices, or

Combine devices specifies that the report

solely on the specified keys (See below).

 

 

 

Each row of the report will contain a * for

 

 

 

the value of the Device column.

 

 

 

Separate devices specifies that the report

 

 

 

will treat the exporting device as an

 

 

 

additional key for aggregation. As a

 

 

 

result, data from different devices will not

 

 

 

be aggregated together and the exporting

 

 

 

device that generated the report data will

 

 

 

be the value of the Device column for

 

 

 

each row of the report.

 

 

 

Single device allows you to filter report

 

 

 

data to that which came from a single

 

 

 

exporting device. The IP address of the

 

 

 

exporting device will be the value of the

 

 

 

Device column for each row of the report.

 

 

 

In NFC Release 6.0, a selection box is

 

 

 

provided for specifying a single device.

 

 

 

You can select any device for which data

 

 

 

is available. If the selections set is empty,

 

 

 

no data is available for the selected

 

 

 

aggregator.

 

 

 

 

Aggregator

 

One of the defined aggregators

The report data will come from the Cisco

 

 

 

NetFlow Collector output files of this

 

 

 

single aggregator.

 

 

 

 

Keys

 

The set of keys that are defined in the

unique combination of keys selected for

the report. Using a subset of keys reduces

 

 

 

the system memory required to generate

 

 

 

the report.

 

 

 

 

Values

 

The set of values that are defined in the

Value columns of the report are

of keys selected for the report. Using a

 

 

 

subset of values reduces the system

 

 

 

memory required to generate the report.

 

 

 

In NFC Release 6.0, three sets of value

 

 

 

selections are provided. The first is the set

 

 

 

of value columns available in output data.

 

 

 

For integer values, the second and third

 

 

 

sets allow per-minute and per-second

 

 

 

rates calculated over the reporting period

 

 

 

to be selected.
