Gaining Visibility into Your Traffic Flows

For all network traffic moving across your Aviatrix-managed network, Aviatrix gateways capture metadata for all traffic traversing their links. CoPilot uses the information to show you detailed information about your traffic.

You can use filters to show flows over custom timeframes. You can use filters to show only traffic that matches your specific traffic criteria. You can use over 80 traffic metadata fields to filter traffic.

Show Traffic Flows by Using Filters

You can filter your network traffic to show only the traffic you want by using filters.

To create a traffic flow filter, see:

Creating a Traffic Flow Filter

Traffic Flow Field Reference

You can use over 80 traffic metadata fields when creating custom filters for showing specific traffic flows.

You can filter your traffic in FlowIQ using the following flow fields.

World View of Where Traffic is Going To and Coming From

Use the CoPilot > Monitor > FlowIQ > GeoLocation page to see, geographically, where the majority of your traffic is going to and coming from. The world view topology map lets you see where traffic is coming from the most.

If you are not expecting traffic to come into your network from a given country, this may merit further inspection. You can drill into the heat map to analyze the traffic closely by country.

Top Talkers in Your Network and Where They are Communicating

Use the FlowIQ > Flows tab to see the top talkers in your network. The bigger bands in the sankey flow chart represent the top talkers.

You may decide to move top talkers that communicate with each other to be in closer regions to save on cost.

Overview of Your Traffic Statistics

Use the FlowIQ Overview page to get information based on various metrics for all traffic observed in your network over a specified timeframe.

Trends in Your Traffic Over Time

Use the Trends page to see trends in your traffic over time. You can view spikes that may be happening and drill down to investigate these trends.

Link Latencies that may Impact Traffic

Your traffic may be impacted by increased latencies for links in your network. In the CoPilot Topology page, you can use the map to see link status for links between gateways located in different VPC/VNets. A green link indicates connectivity is established.
