I'm trying to find a clear measure of how much netflow traffic my Gigaflow is ingesting per day, NOT how much traffic is being reported BY netflow data, but how much netflow data itself is being consumed.

Ideally this could be broken down by device or maybe site.  But I'm not finding any pre-built reports that show this.

I've thought about just using APEX to report on all traffic going to the IP of my Gigaflow since MOST of that will be Netflow, but wondering if anyone else has a simpler more accurate path to this kind of report?

hi Eric!!! Great question. In GigaFlow (GF) go to Reports on the left hand side, then system Wide Reports, and then flow Stats. then you can pick the time frame. It will break down the stats by device. does that help? I attached a pic below

Hey Warren, I've looked at that and that provides the total number of Flows, not the overall size of the flow data coming in. Unless Netflow packets are always a consistent size? and I can just multiply the number of flows by that size to get my totals?

Hi Eric, You can certainly have GigaStor and then Apex report on the management IP of GigaFlow and obtain what you're looking for. I believe I found another way in GigaFlow. Click System | System Status | Scroll down about half-way and click ALL FORENSICS BY DEVICE (illustration in attached).
It will display the total disk space used by all the devices per day (see 2nd attachment)
