Unique Visitors

This widget provides a chart reporting the number of unique IP addresses that have communicated over the network during a specified period of time.

When placed on the Node Details or Interface Details view, the widget provides a chart reporting the number of unique IP addresses that have communicated with the viewed node or interface.

A custom endpoint-centric version of this widget, called Unique Visitors (Endpoint Centric), can also be placed on the NetFlow Node Details or Interface Details view, providing a view of the unique IP addresses with which the viewed node or interface has communicated during the selected period of time. For more information about adding endpoint-centric widgets, see Add endpoint-centric widgets to NTA views.
