An engineer notices a significant anomaly in the traffic in one of the host groups in Cisco Secure Network Analytics (Stealthwatch) and must analyze the top data transmissions. Which tool accomplishes this task?
In Cisco Secure Network Analytics (Stealthwatch), when an engineer needs to analyze the top data transmissions to identify significant anomalies in traffic within a host group, the Top Conversations tool is used. This tool provides a detailed view of the communication between hosts, showing which pairs of hosts are exchanging the most data. By examining the top conversations, the engineer can pinpoint which specific data flows are contributing to the anomaly and take appropriate action.
The Top Conversations tool is particularly useful for this task because it focuses on the interactions between hosts, rather than just the volume of traffic (Top Ports), the individual hosts themselves (Top Hosts), or the peers (Top Peers) involved in the network communications. It allows for a more granular analysis of the network traffic, which is essential for identifying and addressing anomalies.
