Hi kyang,

the mention document doesn't mention how to generate top talker report from specific device interface.

You can grab the top talkers per "source" but not per device because you can send data from multiple devices to a single source.

If you need this granularity, you would need to create unique sources for each device you need individual top talkers reports for.

Hi scottwilkerson,

Yes your correct, i am asking about to extracting top talker report from device interface not from device only.
Note:
i believe that here "source" term mention as device.

What I mean by "source" is something you setup to listen for data in Nagios Network Analyzer that has a port it is listening on for data. All data from devices going to that port makes up a source.

I totally agree but the question still remain how is it possible to extract report from specific port/interface from device?
is their any setting to setup in NagiosXI / Nagios NA to get top talker report?

When you run any report it asks you what source you want to run the report on.

If you are looking to create a report for a specific device do the following:
in Nagios Network Analyzer -> Reports
Create Report
Select how you want it grouped, ordered and if you want it limited at all by IP or port
Save
