Nimbostratushow can I view the top 10 talkers' IP addresses for a given timeperiod?
I see a spike in network activity but would like to see the top talkers for a given timeperiod. How can I view that info? I am using i2800 on 15.1.2.
Thanks.
Since you ask for the past, I think its doable with 2 options (from what I know), either with logging using an Irule or using the Analytics (AVR) module.
As you also called netstat, which is a real time data, not of past, I'll share few commands which I use, You can try these options,
Current Connections for a given VIP:
tmsh show sys connection cs-server-addr <VIP> | head -n -1 | tail -n +2 | awk '{print $1}'You can add more filters like awk, cut, sort, uniq to find top source ip's consuming your respective vip.
Total Connections Count so far:
tmsh show ltm virtual <Virtual-name> | grep -E "Ltm::Virtual Server|Total Connections" | awk 'NR%2{printf "%s ",$0;next;}1' | awk '{print $3","$6}'Live Connections Count on the box:
tmsh show ltm virtual all | grep -E "Ltm::Virtual Server|Current Connections" | awk 'NR%2{printf "%s ",$0;next;}1' | awk '{print $3","$6}'Also you can use bigtop command,
bigtop -conn -onceHope this helps.

When you say a given period, do you mean in the past or current traffic pattern. If current, you can use tmsh or bigtop commands.
Sharath413I meant sometime in the past. Also, is there any way on F5 to view client session info like netstat -ap etc?
Do you know how I can get a list of client IP addresses to a virtual server?
