Distribution by hosts shows the contribution of top hosts (individual IP addresses) to the specified traffic. It presents the traffic activity for both internal and external IP addresses.
To view traffic distribution by hosts:
The number of top hosts is configurable. To change the number of top hosts showing in the chart and table, see TopN Settings. |
In order to enable IP address resolution, your NetVizura server should have local or remote communication with DNS server (for Hostname) and Internet access (for Whois information). |
The screenshot above indicates that over 90% of outgoing traffic came from first and third host in the table.
Besides that, if you move your mouse over some host, you can see Whois information that significantly saves time, improves readability of the statistics and increases overall contextual awareness.
For each host, DNS and WHOIS lookup are performed. IP is presented as Hostname, whereas WHOIS description is shown in a tooltip when specific conversation is hovered. Tooltip contains information about organization name, description, country, address, network range and more, depending on data availability.
