Traffic Rule Profiles
The [Settings > IT Asset Discovery > Traffic Rule Profiles] menu can be used to create and manage traffic rule profiles.
Any potential modification to profiles will have an automatic outcome to Asset Discovery functionality and all its dashboards, including historical NetFlow data.
The following options are available:
- Add traffic rules profiles allow users to create new profiles, which will be used to map traffic for both assetNetflowAggr and assetDevices streams.
First step includes defining Name and Description fields, as well as Privacy and Tags.
Privacy has three options: Private (only the owner can view this item), Public (anyone can view this item with optional delete/edit/grant permissions) and Shared (only the added user roles have access to this item).
Tags can be selected from the built-in list or user can create a new tag using Add tag button located in the dropdown list. Single profile supports multiple tags.
In order to edit rules for a new profile, user is required to click on Save and next to click on its name from the Traffic Rule Profiles list.
This will allow accessing Edit rules option.
After clicking Edit rules, Edit traffic rules window will appear for adding or modifying specific rules.
The fllowing fields are supported:
Client subnet – “any” for all subnets and addresses, specific subnet or individual IP address with CIDR 32
