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.

Configure Cisco devices directly from the SolarWinds Platform Web Console

NTA allows you to configure your devices to export NetFlow version 5 or version 9 directly from the SolarWinds Platform Web Console.

You can download the current configuration from devices that are currently monitored in NPM and add commands for exporting NetFlow into the current running-config file.

This enables you to configure NetFlow export on all interfaces on a selected node at once.

The changes are applied only in the running-config file on the appropriate device. If the device is rebooted, your changes will be lost.

To make your changes permanent, back up your running-config file, or apply the appropriate changes in the startup-config file on the device.

Configure the NetFlow export

  1. Select the device whose configuration you want to change.
  2. Define the new configuration and apply it on the device.
