Traffic
This topic describes the purpose of the Illumio Segmentation for the Cloud traffic feature, found in the Explore menu, and provides a general example of how you would use it. For instructions on how to use the search function in the Traffic page, see Search traffic.
The traffic page lets you view denied and allowed flows in a table. Click on a table row to see more details about the source and destination of the flow, such as IP Addresses, account IDs, labels, categories, resource types, etc.
Exporting Traffic Lists
For best results, Illumio recommends viewing videos in Chrome.
Click Export to export the traffic data.
Edit the report name, select a time range, and select the format.
Click the Scheduling Section toggle to the on position to schedule the export unless you want to export the report immediately.
If you choose to schedule your report, select your recurrence and time.
Click Save when done.
Go to the Generated reports page to download the exported report.
Click the down arrow and select View All Reports to go to the Generated reports page and download the exported traffic list (report).
Limitations for Displaying Traffic
In the Traffic page, the list displays only 10,000 results. This display limit is not configurable. This may cause you to see only the most recent 10,000 flows, irrespective of the earliest time you select, because collection of flows starts from the current day. For example, if the current day already has 10,000 flows, then irrespective of your time selection (such as the last 7 or 14 days), it will show only the first 10,000 flows from the current day. Illumio set this display limitation to provide optimal page display performance. You can filter your traffic list to retrieve data about traffic that isn't initially displayed when you elect to display everything. Illumio does not display your traffic in any specific order. When you don't filter your traffic, the page will typically display the most recent 10,000 results. Note that traffic records older than 90 days will be automatically removed.
Illumio Segmentation for the Cloud doesn't display GCP traffic flowing through load balancers because VPC flow logs don't capture load-balancer-specific details. For supported resources, see Illumio visibility for resource types.
