Disable flow sources and CBQoS-enabled devices

You can disable NetFlow and CBQoS monitoring through the NTA Settings in the SolarWinds Platform Web Console.

Disable flow sources

  1. In the SolarWinds Platform Web Console, click Settings > All Settings.
  2. Under Product Specific Settings, click NTA Settings.
  3. Click Flow Sources Management.

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

  4. Use the Filters to find the devices to display.
  5. Locate the interface you want to delete.
  6. Select flow sources, and click Drop traffic.

    If you disable NetFlow monitoring for a node or interface, the data stop being collected. However, historical data are kept in the database. Enabling and disabling flow collection can thus result in gaps in NTA graphs.

  2. Under Product Specific Settings, click NTA Settings.
  3. Under CBQoS Polling Management, click Manually manage CBQoS polling.

  4. Use the Filters to find the devices to display.
  5. Locate the interface you want to disable.
