When comparing Graphs, SevOne differentiates between Source->Destination and Destination->Source whilst VeloCloud shows the Total || Request to develop a functionality which can show the “Total” of both(Source to Des and vice versa)

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

When comparing the top talkers Graphs, SevOne differentiates between Source->Destination and Destination->Source whilst VeloCloud shows the Total.So looking for a functionality which can show the total of both. Otherwise manual intervention is required to sum up the values and share with the intended users. To get a better understanding attaching the screenshot of top talkers graph from both VCO and SevOne.

From Screenshot1_SevOne:
1. There are columns for pacaket(sum) and bandwidth(sum) from both Source -> Destination and Destination -> Source, under the view Velocloud Top Application(combined).
2. Sevone is showing these values separately under combined velocloud view
3. However there is no such columns which shows the total of source->destination and vice versa.

From Screenshot2_VCO:
1. This Graph shows the total in a single column(packet)

So here we need an additional columns to show the total of both. Kindly check the possibilities to get this added.

    When using Application IP and Client IP (SevOne fields) as long as you don't include the Application direction field in the flow view those two bandwidth metrics should already be combined as part of the report.

    Issue is that Velocloud is sending bi-directional flow so they are two different metric fields correct - one for forward and on for reverse traffic? The bidirectional flow record would have to be split up into undidirectional flows to make this work today
