SCALABLE VISUALIZATION OF NETWORK FLOWS

Abstract:

Some embodiments provide a method for visualizing network flows between multiple security groups in a network. Each security group includes a set of one or more data computer nodes (DCNs). The method receives data regarding network flows between the DCNs of the security groups. In a scalable user interface visualization, the method displays the network flows by aggregating the network flows between DCNs in pairs of security groups. The method provides a filtering tool to enable visualization in the user interface of specific flows between the DCNs of the plurality of security groups.
