By periodically reviewing the vitals page, the following can be determined:

Listener Ports

The flow collector can listen on multiple ports simultaneously. The defaults are 2055, 4739, 9996 and 6343 however, more can be added.

Click on the different listener ports to view total packet rate per port. Below are all packet rates per device sending on the selected listening port.

Visit Settings -> Configuration to modify the listener ports.

Dropped Flow Packets

Collected flow packets are moved into a very large buffer for processing. When the buffer is full the collector service will drop flow packets received until there is room in the buffer for more packets. Observe the Available flow buffer queue percentage trend. If it is down from 100% available, this indicates that flow packets are queuing up for processing. If the Available Queue goes down to 0%, the Dropped Packets trend will start showing data.

Optimal Server hardware will provide more resources to the software's backend and help alleviate this problem. A second flow collecting server can also be purchased to address this issue.
