NBAR Reports

This documentation applies to NMS version 5.4. An online version of the software can be found here.

NBAR reports enable you to display Network Based Application Recognition report information from the devices for which you enable the NBAR plugin. NBAR examines data from Layer 3 through Layer 7 and classifies traffic by protocol. Enable the device to send NBAR data to SevOne and enable the NBAR plugin for a device on the Edit Device page.

To access the NBAR Reports page from the navigation bar, click the Applications menu and select NBAR Reports.

  2. Click the Interfaces drop-down and select an interface.

  3. Click the Number of Results drop-down and select the number of results to display in the report. The report displays this number of inbound results and this number of outbound results for the interface.

Manage NBAR Report Data

Each report displays the inbound NBAR data and the outbound NBAR data for the applications in bits and by packet count.

  • Click in either the Bits column or in the Packet Count column to create an attachment in a report on a new browser tab. You can modify reports to add other attachments and you can save reports to the Report Manager. Report workflows enable you to designate reports to be your favorite reports and to define one report to appear as your custom dashboard.

  • Select the check box for several in bound applications or several out bound applications then click in either the Bits column or the Packet Count column to create an attachment for the data you click.
