Flow Reporting

For flow redirection, the appliance handles flow reporting as follows:

n	The reporting mechanism of locally owned flows is unchanged.

n	When a peer redirects a flow, it does no per-flow reporting. Rather, that traffic’s statistics are maintained by the owner of the flow. That is, the peer appliance to which the flow is redirected.

n	On the Monitoring - Current Flows page, a flow’s Detail link has a field named, Flow Redirected From which displays which peer appliance IP is redirecting the flow to this appliance. This field only has an entry if the appliance owns the flow.

For more information, see “Viewing Current Flows”.

n	The Monitoring - Flow Redirection page lists the mgmt1 IP address for each peer in the cluster. It also displays statistics for the control packet, number of current flows redirected to/from the appliance, and a cumulative tally of the packets and bytes redirected to/from peers.

For more information, see “Viewing Flow Redirection Statistics”.
