to continue our demonstration let's
begin to use business flow Auto
discovery to discover any additional
connectivity payroll uses on the network
which is not already under management in
business flow outposts like Auto
discovery allows customers to quickly
discover and visualize application
connectivity requirements on the network
to bring them under management within
business flow Auto discovery enables
customers to map their organization's
business applications and connectivity
flows by analyzing network traffic data
there are multiple ways to collect with
the required traffic data including net
flow as flow offline pcap client based
sensors and of course live packet
forwarding in this network topology view
we can see all discovered endpoints and
their relationships across the entire
environment you can quickly identify and
focus on any endpoint of interest to
drill deeper on any communication
relationships discovered for it now
let's zoom in on the payroll application
where we can see all connectivity
discovered for this specific application
payroll has been discovered by utilizing
network traffic data and defining a
variety of application entry points once
these entry points are defined Auto
discovery utilizes unique algorithms and
logic to analyze the endpoint
communication this analysis includes
transactions frequency and last seen
details
auto discovery can also leverage DNS to
automatically determine the names of end
points providing application context
even faster now that we have a complete
picture of the payroll application and
all of its underlying connectivity flows
let's bring this under management within
business flow
once all application flows have been
brought under management and business
flow we can now review edit and optimize
as needed
let's now review the additional flows
we've just brought under management for
payroll in the flow section of the
application here we can see the
additional discovered connectivity flow
the DC time clock server communicating
with the time clock server in the Amazon
Cloud we will now apply this draft of
the application by clicking apply draft
business flow will now recognize that we
need a firewall change request to
facilitate this connectivity on the
network and it's going to prompt us to
automatically submit this into fire flow
we can now see that the payroll
application will be marked pending
implementation and we can continue our
demonstration in algo SEC fire flow
