Exporters

The Explore > Exporters tab can be used to inspect traffic and Alarm information for individual Exporters. Exporters can be viewed either By Interface (default) or By Exporter.

Clicking Exporter hostnames/addresses in either view opens a summary page containing activity timelines, Alarm history, and other information associated with the Exporter.

By interface view

In the By Interface view, the table lists inbound and outbound activity for each interface, in addition to the Exporter it belongs to.

Hint

The Inbound and Outbound columns will display utilization percentage for any interfaces whose speeds have been defined. Otherwise, actual rates (in b/s) will be shown instead.

Clicking an interface or the + icon opens the interface details tray with the following options:

  • Reports - Opens a secondary tray from where available Reports for the device can be run

  • Information - Shows additional details about the interface

  • Exporter - Opens the interface’s Exporter summary page

  • Reset Highwater Inbound - Resets the highwater mark details for inbound traffic

  • Reset Highwater Outbound - Resets the highwater mark details for outbound traffic

  • Reset Highwater Both - Resets the highwater mark details for both inbound and outbound traffic

Clicking the interface to expand the details tray also opens a secondary tray from which Reports can be run.

Hint

Selecting one or more instances using the checkboxes opens a bulk actions tray containing options to reset inbound and/or outbound highwater mark details.

By Exporter view

In the By Exporter view, Exporter hostnames/addresses are displayed alongside the following details:

  • Number of device groups (SpatialMaps or GeoMaps) the Exporter belongs to

  • Number of interfaces

  • Packets per second over the last 12 hours

  • Flows per second over the last 12 hours

  • Timestamp of the most recent flow received from the Exporter

Clicking the + icon opens the Exporter details tray with the following options:

  • Reports - Opens a secondary tray from where available Reports for the device can be run

  • Information - Shows additional details about the device

  • Interfaces - Lists all interfaces associated with the device

  • Integrations - Lists any third-party integrations using the device

  • Tags - Lists any custom tags added to the device and allows the user to add new tags

  • Mapping - Allows the user to view and/or edit the device’s mapping properties

  • Admin - Contains links to device admin pages

Hint

Selecting one or more Exporters using the checkboxes opens a bulk actions tray containing options to run Reports, add tags, and modify grouping/mapping properties. In the interface view, the quick access trays will include the option to reset the inbound and/or outbound highwater values.

Tree menu functions

The tree menu/view of the Explore > Exporters tab lists all configured device groups/maps.

Expanding a device group in the tree view will show the following options:

  • Actions - Opens an actions tray with options to run Reports, display the group’s network map, and filter the main table by the group’s Exporters or interfaces

  • Modify - Opens a configuration tray where the device group’s properties, including Exporters or connections, can be modified

  • Exporters - Shows the number of Exporters assigned to the group and applies the filter to the main table when clicked

  • Interfaces - Shows the number of interfaces linked to the Exporters assigned to the group and applies the filter to the main table when clicked

Additional page options

  • Filtering options can be accessed by clicking the Filters button.

  • General page options, such as the number of entries shown and export actions, can be accessed by clicking the Options (gear) button.
