The applications groups report shows the top application groups by data volume for the selected time period. The application groups report shows inbound traffic separately from outbound application traffic. These charts can answer questions such as, “Which application groups may be overrunning my network? Is the proportion of traffic for a particular application group what I am expecting?” Using this information you can determine if you need to create policies to control or protect these high data volume application groups.
You can drill into the application group by clicking on the application group name in the tables below the charts. This will show the Hosts Report that comprise the application selected application group. You can then drill into a particular application to see the hosts using that application.
The tables at the bottom of the report shows for each of the top application groups, the total amount of data, and the maximum and average throughput rates, the number of packets, and the number of flows for the selected time period. More network metrics, such as, round-trip time (RTT), network and server delays, and TCP efficiency can be shown by clicking on the Show Details link in the tables.
Where do I find this report?
Go to Monitor > Applications > Application Groups.
How do I interact with the pie-based reports?
You can hover over the pie slices to view the amount of data transferred as well as view the percentage of the pie. Note that the pie is showing only the top items, so the proportion is relative to the top items - not relative to all the traffic through the appliance. That is, if one wedge showed 50% of the traffic, that means it is 50% of the top items, not 50% through the appliance.
