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.

Monitor NBAR2 Applications in NTA

After you have configured your devices to send NBAR2 data and added the devices for monitoring in NTA, you can identify the top applications and top categories and subcategories of applications consuming bandwidth on your network.

You can also run reports to view the top categories and subcategories for NBAR2 flows.

  1. To access the Applications Summary view, in the Dashboard, click NetFlow > Apps.
  2. In the top-right corner of the Top XX Applications widget, select NBAR2 from the drop-down.

NTA populates the chart with the top NBAR2 applications identified by name.

If you deployed SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted 2022.2, NBAR2 applications are identified by name and application vendor icon. Hover over the icon of the application vendor to see the name of the vendor.

If NTA displays "NO DATA" in the Top XX Applications widget, make sure you have completed the NBAR2 requirements for application ID.
