Get App Flow Details

Get App Flow Details
Get unique (deduplicated) flow records for an application

Returns a paginated list of unique (deduplicated) flow records for the specified application. Flows are deduplicated by source VM, destination VM, destination port, and protocol -- multiple occurrences within the time window collapse into a single row reflecting the most recently observed state.

Notes:

  • start_time is required. Either site_id or site_ids must also be provided.
  • Set use_latest_apps to true to reflect current application membership; false (default) reflects membership at the time each flow was observed.
  • Use app_request_type to filter flows by request type. Multiple values are OR-combined; omitting the field returns all flows.
  • filters accepts up to 300 filter entries.
  • Obtain app-id from the topology graph returned by POST /visualization/topology/apps-flow-topology, where each node represents an application.
  • To export these results as a CSV file, use POST /visualization/flow-exports/applications/{app-id}/flow-details/export.
  • To see the DFW rules associated with this application, use POST /visualization/security-analysis/applications/{app-id}/related-dfw-rules.
