Flow Baselines

Monitoring > Security > Flow Baselines

The Flow Baselines tab shows the baseline data computed in the previous interval for the selected appliance. The data is refreshed after each baseline computation interval. These charts are only available if you have enabled baseline learning for the appliance.

The first set of charts shown includes the following:

  • Appliance flow utilization – Indicates used and unused flow capacities. If Smart burst is configured, unused indicates the spare capacity that can be used by Smart burst.

  • Segment flow utilization – Shows how flow capacity is disbursed across the segments.

  • Segment-zone flow utilization – Shows flow capacity use for all zones in a segment.

Individual charts that show the baseline data for each configured segment are also shown. The segment charts show the most recent baselines computed for each protocol within each segment zone. By default, the charts show baseline data for concurrent flows at the source level. To see baseline data for other network statistics, select the following filters to customize the data on the individual segment charts.

  • Classification: Filter to show data by either the source level (Source) or the zone level (Zone).

  • Metric: Select the metric to use for stats (Flows per second, Concurrent flows, or Embryonic flows).

You can toggle the individual segment data between Chart View and Table View. When using Table View, the following columns appear in the table.

Column Description
Segment Name of the segment.
Zone Name of the zone within the segment.
Classification The level at which network statistics are measured. The baseline is computed at the Zone level or Source level.
Metric The configured DoS threshold metric (Flows per second, Concurrent flows, or Embryonic flows).
TCP The most recent baseline computed for TCP flows.
UDP The most recent baseline computed for UDP flows.
ICMP The most recent baseline computed for ICMP flows.
Other The most recent baseline computed for other flows.
All The most recent baseline computed for all flows.

You can customize settings for all the data using the controls at the top of the tab, as follows:

Option Description
Chart View Click to view the data in chart format.
Table View Click to view the data for individual segments in table format.
Large Click this option to toggle the size of the charts between smaller (default) and large.
