IPFIX (Internet Protocol Flow Information Export) is a standard for the format and export of network flow information for troubleshooting, auditing, or collecting analytics information.

You can configure flow monitoring on a logical segment. All the flows from the VMs connected to that logical segment are captured and sent to the IPFIX collector. The collector names are specified as a parameter for each IPFIX switch profile.

Prerequisites

Verify that a logical segment is configured. See Create or Modify a Network Segment.

Procedure

  1. With CloudAdmin privileges, log in to NSX Manager.
  2. Open the IPFIX page.
    See Network Monitoring in the NSX Data Center Administration Guide for more information about using IPFX.
