Manage Flow sources and CBQoS polling

The Manage Flow Sources and CBQoS Polling page provides a list of active flow‑ and CBQoS-enabled nodes and interfaces.

Clicking + expands the list of nodes and interfaces.

If you cannot see any NetFlow sources, confirm that the following is true for your configuration:

  • NetFlow devices must be configured to send NetFlow data to NPM. Devices and the interfaces must be managed by NPM before they can be recognized in NTA.
    For more information about adding devices to NPM, see Configuring NetFlow Traffic Analyzer.
  • Confirm that the SolarWinds NetFlow Service has been started in the Windows Services listing.

To select interfaces for NetFlow monitoring:

  1. In the Show list, select the type of devices that you would like to show in the interface tree.
  2. If you know the name or a keyword in the name of the interface that you want to add, enter it in the Search field and click Search.
  3. Click + to expand monitored nodes.
  4. Select nodes and interfaces for CBQoS and NetFlow monitoring.

    Checking a node selects all interfaces on the selected node for monitoring.

  5. Click Submit.
