Documentation forNetFlow Traffic Analyzer
Analyzing network traffic and bandwidth is a key capability of SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted (formerly Hybrid Cloud Observability) and is available in the Advanced edition. NetFlow Traffic Analyzer (NTA) is also available in a standalone module.

Reconcile flow collection across multiple interfaces of a node

Flow collection is often configured inconsistently across the interfaces of a node. This results in double counted traffic. With NTA, you can reconcile the traffic volumes across multiple interfaces to accurately represent the traffic flowing through a node.

Configure flow collection

  1. In the SolarWinds Platform Web Console, click Settings > All Settings.

  2. Under Product Specific Settings, click NTA Settings.

  3. Under Flow Sources Management, click Manually manage flow sources.

    You can also access the Flow Sources Management page by clicking My Dashboards > NetFlow > Flow Sources.

  4. In the drop-down menu in the upper left of the page, click Node.
  5. Select the node you want to configure, and click Reconcile node.

  6. In the pop-up, define the Direction for each interface.
  7. Click Apply.

    You can reconcile only interfaces with InterfaceIndex polled by SolarWinds NPM.
