A new feature of Arista Analytics offers the ability to upsample traffic volume sampled by NetFlow V9/IPFIX and SFlow.This feature provides a better visibility of traffic volumes by approximating the number of bytes and packets from samples collected by the NetFlow V9/IPFIX or SFlow sampling protocols. It provides those approximation statistics along with the ElasticSearch statistics. The feature bases the approximations on the flow exporter’s sampling rate or a user-provided fixed factor.

Prior email alerts in the Analytics Node System tab didn’t use secure protocols like TLS or SSL. This feature enables secure email alerts.
