Flow Export
AppResponse 11 can export in parallel:
◼ NetFlow v9 records over SSL/MNMP to NetProfiler 10.9.5 (or later).
– A maximum of two (2) NetProfiler/Flow Gateway appliances are supported.
◼ Standard NetFlow v9 records using standard UDP packets to NetFlow Collectors.
– A maximum of two (2) NetFlow Collectors are supported.
AppResponse 11 must see both directions of traffic flow on the same Virtual Interface Group (VIFG) to calculate and export the following metrics to a NetProfiler/Flow Gateway appliance:
◼ DPI metrics for applications
◼ VoIP metrics for IP telephony
◼ Service Response Time metrics for TCP connections
Otherwise, only basic flow metrics are calculated and exported.
You can specify one filter (BPF or SteelFilter) per VIFG. Refer to
SteelFilter Identifiers Supported For NPM Capture for the set of SteelFilter identifiers that are supported for use with VIFGs.
You can view the configured NetProfiler Export and Flow Collector settings and their export statistics by selecting the Status tab on this page.
This section covers the following:
Configuring Flow Export
Flow export must be enabled before you can export to AppResponse 11 or a flow collector.
To export flows to NetProfiler/Flow Gateway
1. Go to Administration > Integration > Net Profiler Integration in the web UI, and click the Flow Export Settings tab.
2. Select Enable Flow Export. This enables export to NetProfiler/Flow Gateway and NetFlow collectors.
3. Select VOIP Quality metrics to export VOIP quality metrics (no Telchemy metrics).
4. Enter the hostname or IP address of each NetProfiler/Flow Gateway to receive the flow exports.
– NetProfiler does not support NetFlows from IPv6 exporters.
5. To manage port name and custom application definitions from a NetProfiler to ensure consistent traffic identification, select Manage Port Names and Custom Applications from NetProfiler and select the NetProfiler to use. The definitions on this NetProfiler replace the definitions on an AppResponse 11 exporting traffic. Port Aliases and Application Configuration are disabled in AppResponse 11.
6. Click Apply to begin flow export.
To export flows to NetFlow Collectors
1. Go to Administration > Integration > Net Profiler Integration in the web UI,, and click the Flow Export Settings tab.
2. Select Enable Flow Export. This enables flow export to NetFlow v9 flow collectors.
3. Enter the hostname or IP address of the NetFlow collectors to receive the flow exports.
4. Enter the UDP port to use for flow export.
5. Click Apply to begin flow export.
