10 Inter-business monitoring
This chapter provides an overview of inter-business traffic analysis, explains how to manage
inter-business traffic analysis tasks, and describes how to navigate different types of inter-business traffic
analysis reports.
Inter-business traffic analysis overview
Inter-business traffic analysis tasks allow you to combine host and application information and assign it
a business service name. NTA parses network flow records based on the combination of hosts and
applications that you create, and provides traffic statistics for those hosts and applications. Because
inter-business analyses are based on hosts and applications and are not tied to an interface, a device,
or probe network flow data sources, inter-business reports provide visibility for all areas of the network
that generate network flow records.
In general, traffic reports include the rate of traffic for all hosts and applications in all tasks, and for the
hosts and applications in a specific task. They include per-second traffic for each configured
inter-business analysis task, the average rate for a single business and for inter-business traffic, and
inter-business reports that operators have saved to the Interest list under the Interest tab. The reports
provide both summarized information for tasks as well as detailed information about specific
applications configured for a traffic analysis task.

To view the inter-business traffic analysis report for a single task, move your mouse pointer to the shortcut
menu icon to the right of Inter-Business Traffic Analysis Task. The Inter-Business Traffic Analysis Task
