AppFlow > Flow Reporting

You manage the firewall’s flow reporting, statistics, and configurable settings for sending AppFlow and real-time data to a local collector or external AppFlow servers with the AppFlow feature. AppFlow provides support for external AppFlow reporting formats, such as NetFlow version 5, NetFlow version 9, IPFIX, and IPFIX with extensions. AppFlow includes support for Dell™ Change Auditor for SonicWALL, the automated auditing module that allows you to collect data on internet web site and cloud activity. For more information about using Change Auditor with SonicOS appliances, see Change Auditor for SonicWALL User Guide.

The AppFlow > Flow Reporting page includes settings for configuring the firewall to view statistics based on Flow Reporting and Internal Reporting. From this page, you can also configure settings for internal reporting as well as appflow server, GMSflow Server, and external collector reporting.

You can access the Dashboard > AppFlow Monitor page by clicking on the Link icon in the upper right corner of the AppFlow > Flow Reporting page.

You can clear all the AppFlow settings to default values by clicking on the Default button at the top of the AppFlow > Flow Reporting page.
