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.

Customize charts for the current session in NTA

All users who can view widgets can also customize the charts for the duration of the current session, directly in the appropriate view or widget.

For the current session, you can customize:

  • Time and flow direction settings for all appropriate widgets in a view
  • Zoom and displayed items in area charts

Once you leave the view with the widget, your current settings will be lost and replaced by settings for the widget.

Customize time and flow direction settings for the current session

You can customize the time and flow direction settings for all appropriate widgets on a view.

However, widgets with their individual time periods set in their Edit pages are not subject to this time period control.

For more information about customizing time settings, see Edit time settings for NTA views.

For more information about customizing flow direction settings, see Edit flow direction in NTA views.

Area charts: zoom and show selected items only

Area charts support the following session-related options:

  • Beneath area charts, you can see a slider tool. Move the slider to display an in-depth view of the selected part of the chart to get a detailed view of the traffic at a certain time point.
  • Select or clear the boxes in the table below an interactive area chart, to display only the items you want to see at the moment.
