Sniffer Adaptive Application Analyzer: Adaptive Mode ... - NetScout

EARLY FIELD TRIAL
Using Filters in the Quick Select Window
Monitor statistics in the Quick Select window will not include
packets excluded by a source filter. This includes both the Graph
panel and all Statistics panel tabs.
Postcapture analysis will not include packets excluded by a source
filter. This includes both Adaptive and raw packet postcapture
views.
Using the Apply Source Filter Dialog Box
The Apply Source Filter dialog box appears when you right-click a stream
in the Navigation panel and select the Apply Source Filter command
(Figure 6-7):
Use the Select Filter dropdown to select an existing filter for use
as a Source filter. The dropdown includes all filters constructed
using the Create/Edit Filter dialog box.
Once you select a filter from the dropdown, the Filter Summary
populates with a synopsis of its settings.
Use the Edit Filter button to launch the Create/Edit Filter dialog
box. From here, you can either fine-tune the selected filter or
create an entirely new filter.
Indication of Source Filter Usage
Because source filters prevent matching packets from ever being seen
by Sniffer Adaptive Application Analyzer, it’s important to understand
when one is applied (and what it’s removing!). Because of this, Sniffer
Adaptive Application Analyzer displays streams with a source filter
applied with a distinctive icon (Figure 6-8). The stream returns to its
normal appearance when a source filter is no longer applied.
“Source Filter Applied” icon
appears when source filter is
applied.
Stream returns to
normal color/letter
designation when
source filter is removed.
