Traffic Analysis
The Traffic Analysis page provides a real-time view of network traffic across your edge fleet. It combines bandwidth metrics, IPFIX flow data, and per-edge breakdowns to help you understand traffic patterns and identify anomalies.
Navigate to Analytics > Traffic Analysis in the sidebar.
Summary Cards
Four cards at the top provide a high-level overview:
| Card | Description |
|---|---|
| Total Traffic | Aggregate data transferred (GB) across all edges in the selected time range |
| Avg Daily Traffic | Average daily throughput |
| Peak Bandwidth | Highest observed bandwidth (Mbps) across any edge |
| Edge Devices | Number of edges reporting metrics |
Network Traffic Trends
An area chart showing download and upload bandwidth (Mbps) over time. Use the time range selector to adjust the view:
| Range | Description |
|---|---|
| 1h | Last hour (1-minute resolution) |
| 6h | Last 6 hours |
| 24h | Last 24 hours |
| 7d | Last 7 days |
The chart auto-refreshes every 60 seconds.
IPFIX Flow Analysis
When edges have IPFIX/flowprobe enabled, additional flow analysis sections appear:
Protocol Distribution
A donut chart showing traffic breakdown by IP protocol (TCP, UDP, ICMP, etc.) based on IPFIX flow data.
Top Services by Port
A horizontal bar chart showing the top destination ports by traffic volume. Common services are labeled (e.g., HTTPS/443, DNS/53, SSH/22).
Service Traffic Details
A table showing per-service breakdowns:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Service | Destination port and protocol |
| Traffic | Total bytes with a visual progress bar |
| Percentage | Share of total traffic |
IPFIX flow analysis requires flowprobe to be enabled on edge interfaces. If no flow data is available, these sections are hidden. Configure flow export on the Edge Configuration page.
Traffic by Edge Device
A bar chart showing total traffic (download + upload) for the top 10 edge devices.
Edge Device Traffic Summary
A searchable table listing all edges with their traffic metrics:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Edge Name | Device name |
| Download | Total received bytes |
| Upload | Total transmitted bytes |
| Avg Bandwidth | Average bandwidth utilization |
Use the Hide edges with no traffic checkbox to filter out inactive devices.
Active Alerts
Displays any active traffic-related alerts from the alerting system (VictoriaMetrics + alertmanager). Each alert shows the alert name, severity, affected edge, and duration.
