flows Table

The following table describes the schema of the flows_* SQL tables.

Field Type Description

id

unsigned 32-bit integer

A unique id that defines this record. This is the primary key.

in_ip

binary (128 bit)

A 16 byte (128 bit) representation of the internal IPv6 address (the IPInternet protocol address on the LANLocal area network side of the Exinda appliance) of the flowthe network traffic between network objects. IPv4 addresses are represented as IPv4 mapped format.

ex_ip

binary (128 bit)

A 16 byte (128 bit) representation of the external IPv6 address (the IP address on the WANWide Area Network side of the Exinda appliance) of the flow. IPv4 addresses are represented as IPv4 mapped format.

in_port

unsigned 24-bit integer

The TCPTransmission Control Protocol or UDPUser Datagram Protocol port number on the internal side (the LAN side of the Exinda appliance) of the flow.1

ex_port

unsigned 24-bit integer

The TCP or UDP port number on the external side (the WAN side of the Exinda appliance) of the flow.1

protocol

unsigned 24-bit integer

The IANA assigned IP protocol number of the flow. See http://www.iana.org/assignments/protocol-numbers/ for more information.

app_id

unsigned 24-bit integer

The internal Exinda Application ID assigned to this flow. This represents Exinda's classification of the flow - 0 means unclassified.

packets_in

unsigned 64-bit integer

The number of inbound (WAN -> LAN) packets recorded for this flow over the sample period.

bytes_in

unsigned 64-bit integer

The number of inbound (WAN -> LAN) bytes recorded for this flow over the sample period.

packets_out

unsigned 64-bit integer

The number of outbound (LAN -> WAN) packets recorded for this flow over the sample period.

bytes_out

unsigned 64-bit integer

The number of outbound (LAN -> WAN) bytes recorded for this flow over the sample period.

max_tput_in

unsigned 64-bit integer

The maximum inbound (WAN -> LAN) throughput observed for this flow during the sample period.

max_tput_out

unsigned 64-bit integer

The maximum outbound (LAN -> WAN) throughput observed for this flow during the sample period.

intervals_in

unsigned 24-bit integer

The number of 10 second intervals there was inbound (WAN -> LAN) traffic observed for this flow during the sample period (bps).

intervals_out

unsigned 24-bit integer

The number of 10 second intervals there was outbound (LAN -> WAN) traffic observed for this flow during the sample period (bps).

timestamp

unsigned 32-bit integer

A UNIX timestamp (number of seconds since epoch - 1st Jan 1970) that represents the start of the sample period.

in_username

string

A string representation of the username that was assigned to the internal IP of this flow when it was created (if available).

ex_username

string

A string representation of the username that was assigned to the external IP of this flow when it was created (if available).1

rtt

unsigned 32-bit integer

Round Trip Time in milliseconds. A measure if the time a packet takes to leave a device, cross a network and return.2

network_delay

unsigned 32-bit integer

A normalized measure of the time taken for transaction data to traverse the network.2

network_jitter

unsigned 32-bit integer

A normalized measure of the network_delay variability.2

server_delay

unsigned 32-bit integer

A normalized measure of the time taken for a server to respond to a transaction request.2

bytes_lost_in

unsigned 64-bit integer

The number of bytes lost due to retransmissions (WAN -> LAN).2

bytes_lost_out

unsigned 64-bit integer

The number of bytes lost due to retransmissions (LAN -> WAN).2

aps

unsigned 64-bit integer

Application Performance Score. A measure of an applications performance on the network.2

The flows_* tables are available as views that represent the binary IPv6 addresses in string format. The views tables are flows_*_verbose (e.g. flows_hourly_verbose). The fields are identical to the above except for the following:

Field Type Description

in_ip

string

A string representation of the internal address (the IP address on the LAN side of the Exinda appliance) of the flow. IPv4 mapped IPv6 addresses are represented as IPv4 dotted quad.

ex_ip

string

A string representation of the external address (the IP address on the WAN side of the Exinda appliance) of the flow. IPv4 mapped IPv6 addresses are represented as IPv4 dotted quad.
