Creating a NetFlow Custom Data Source
The creation of a custom NDE data source uses a three part wizard.
After selecting the Create button from the table displayed by selecting Setup > Data Sources > NetFlow >
Custom Data Sources, the first step of the wizard is used to name the custom data source and to select the
source NDE device. The pull down list of devices only includes devices that were added to the NAM NetFlow
table. A default name will be constructed if the name field is left blank. It is always good practice to name
managed components with a descriptive name to assist analysis when viewing the item on reports. Click the
Next button to move to the second step of the wizard.
The second step of the wizard is used to select the subset of all NetFlow traffic from the device. This is done
by selecting the desired NetFlow enabled interface(s). The dialog lists all device interfaces and not just the
NetFlow enabled ones, so select the interface accordingly. As describe previously, the NetFlow Listening
Mode task is used to determine all devices that are sending NetFlow traffic to the NAM. By looking at the
listening mode details of a particular device, the user can determine the NetFlow enabled interfaces (and
traffic direction) that are being reported by this flow. Use this information to properly select the interfaces and
traffic directions to use in the custom data source.
The final step of the wizard is used to verify the configured custom data source. Select Finish to enable the
custom data source.
