10 Inter-business monitoring

This chapter provides an overview of inter-business traffic analysis, explains how to manage

inter-business traffic analysis tasks, and describes how to navigate different types of inter-business traffic

analysis reports.

Inter-business traffic analysis overview

Inter-business traffic analysis tasks allow you to combine host and application information and assign it

a business service name. NTA parses network flow records based on the combination of hosts and

applications that you create, and provides traffic statistics for those hosts and applications. Because
inter-business analyses are based on hosts and applications and are not tied to an interface, a device,

or probe network flow data sources, inter-business reports provide visibility for all areas of the network

that generate network flow records.
In general, traffic reports include the rate of traffic for all hosts and applications in all tasks, and for the
hosts and applications in a specific task. They include per-second traffic for each configured

inter-business analysis task, the average rate for a single business and for inter-business traffic, and

inter-business reports that operators have saved to the Interest list under the Interest tab. The reports

provide both summarized information for tasks as well as detailed information about specific

applications configured for a traffic analysis task.

inter-business traffic analysis tasks.
To view the inter-business traffic analysis report for a single task, move your mouse pointer to the shortcut
menu icon to the right of Inter-Business Traffic Analysis Task. The Inter-Business Traffic Analysis Task

link for a task to view the inter-business traffic analysis report of the task.
