Deep Discovery Inspector can send this notification when the amount of network traffic reaches the configured threshold. Increased activity may indicate an attack on your network.

Procedure

  1. Go to Administration → Notifications → Notification Settings → High Network Traffic.
    The High Network Traffic screen appears.
  2. Select Notify Administrator if network traffic exceeds normal traffic pattern.

      The amount of network traffic is rounded up to the nearest whole number. For example, 1.2 GB displays as 2 GB and 2.6 GB displays as 3 GB.
