Delete All Recorded Flows

At the datacenter level, you can delete the data for all recorded traffic sessions within the datacenter. This
clears the data from charts, the report, and the database. Typically, this is only used when moving your vShield
Zones deployment from a lab environment to a production environment. If you must maintain a history of
traffic sessions, do not use this feature.
To delete traffic statistics for a datacenter
1 Select a datacenter resource from the inventory panel.
2 Click the Flow Monitoring tab.
3 Click Delete All Flows.
4 Click Ok in the pop‐up window to confirm deletion.
C You cannot recover traffic data after you click Delete All Flows.

Editing Port Mappings

When you click Edit Port Mappings, a table appears, listing well‐known applications and protocols, their
respective ports, and a description. vShield recognizes common protocol and port mappings, such as HTTP
over port 80. Your organization might employ an application or protocol that uses a non‐standard port. In this
case, you can use Edit Port Mappings to identify a custom protocol‐port pair. Your custom mapping appears
in the Flow Monitoring report output.
The Edit Port Mappings table offers complete management capabilities, and provides a model for you to
follow. You cannot edit or delete the default entries.

Add an Application-Port Pair Mapping

You can add a custom application‐port mapping to the port mappings table.
To add an application port-pair mapping
1 Go to Inventory > Networking in the vSphere Client.
2 Select a port group from the inventory panel.
3 Click the Flow Monitoring tab.
4 Click Edit Port Mappings.
5 Click a row in the table.
6 Click Add.
A new row is inserted above the selected row.
7 Double‐click the Application cell and type the application name.
