ExtremeAnalytics Fingerprints
Overview
The Fingerprints tab provides detailed information about fingerprints used by
ExtremeAnalytics to identify application flows. A fingerprint is a description of a
pattern of network traffic which can be used to identify an application. They can
be created based on flow, application or application group, or a destination
address. For applications such as Facebook and Google, multiple fingerprints
are included to capture the different ways these applications can be used.
Fingerprints are created and stored on the Extreme Management Center server.
When a fingerprint is changed or enabled, a flag is raised on the
ExtremeAnalyticsengine to show it needs enforcing. Access the Browser from
the Extreme Management Center Analytics tab.
There are two types of fingerprints: system fingerprints and custom fingerprints.
System fingerprints are provided by Extreme Management Center. They cannot
be deleted; however, they can be modified or disabled. When a system
fingerprint is modified, it results in a new custom fingerprint that overrides the
original system fingerprint.
Custom fingerprints are either new user-defined fingerprints or modifications of
system fingerprints. Custom fingerprints can be deleted. If a custom fingerprint
was overriding a system fingerprint, then deleting the custom fingerprint will
reload the original system fingerprint.
