Defining Custom Application/Ports

Most well known ports are defined in the `services' file and the port number to name translation is handled automatically by the Traverse Netflow collector. To define any custom ports and names for the netflow reports (or override existing names), edit the <TRAVERSE_HOME>/plugin/monitors/silk-topn.conf file. e.g.

%CUSTOM_APPS = (
1666 => `perforce',
8443 => {`tcp' => `https-alt' }
);

In this example, port number 1666 will be shown as "perforce" for both TCP and UDP traffic, while only TCP port 8443 will be displayed as `https-alt'. Remember to put a comma after each entry except in the last line.

Upgrading from 5.5

Note: If you are upgrading from Traverse 5.5 or earlier, you will need to run the netflow-upgrade script after an upgrade, in order to change the existing configurations to the new GUI based configuration.
