View application-based traffic monitoring data, including traffic distribution by application group, application, and request source.

Prerequisites

You have enabled the application identification feature for your Smart Access Gateway instance. For more information, see Manage the application identification DPI feature.

Application traffic distribution

  1. Log on to the SAG console.

  2. In the top navigation bar, select the target region.

  3. On the Smart Access Gateway page, click the ID of the target Smart Access Gateway instance.

  4. On the instance details page, click the Monitoring tab.

  5. On the Monitoring tab, click DPI Statistics on Applications.

  6. On the DPI Statistics on Applications tab, you can view the following information:

    • DPI Statistics by Application Group: Displays each application group's share of the instance's total traffic.

    • DPI Statistics on Applications: Displays each application's share of the instance's total traffic.

    • DPI Statistics by Request Source: Displays each request source's share of the instance's total traffic.

Traffic distribution for specific applications

On the DPI Statistics on Applications tab, use the following filters to view traffic distribution for a specific time range or specific applications.

  • topN: View traffic data for the top 10, 50, 100, or 500 application groups, applications, or request sources, ranked by traffic share.

  • Time: Click the time selector in the upper-right corner to choose a time range.

    The following time range options are available:

    • Relative: Displays traffic data for a period just before the current time.

      For example, if you select 5 minutes and the current time is 14:33:38 on November 26, 2020, the system displays traffic distribution from 14:28:38 to 14:33:38 on the same day.

    • rounded to hour: Displays traffic data for the last full hour.

      For example, if you select 1 hour and the current time is 14:33:38 on November 26, 2020, the system displays traffic distribution from 13:00:00 to 14:00:00 on the same day.

    • Custom: Displays traffic data for a custom time range.

  • Specify application: Select an application group to view traffic distribution by application, or select an application to view distribution by request source.

    For example, the DPI Statistics by Application Group tab shows the traffic share of each application group by default. If you click a specific group, such as General internet, the console switches to the DPI Statistics on Applications tab and displays traffic distribution for individual applications in that group.
