Flow Monitors
Flow monitors are the Flexible NetFlow component that is applied to interfaces to perform network traffic
monitoring.
Flow data is collected from the network traffic and added to the flow monitor cache during the monitoring
process based on the key and nonkey fields in the flow record.
Flexible NetFlow can be used to perform different types of analysis on the same traffic. In the figure below,
packet 1 is analyzed using a record designed for standard traffic analysis on the input interface and a record
designed for security analysis on the output interface.
