Using Cisco Traffic Analyzer with Fabric Manager Web Services
Launching Cisco Traffic Analyzer
To access an instance of Cisco Traffic Analyzer running in your fabric from Fabric Manager Web
Services, follow these steps:
Step 1 Choose Performance > Traffic Analyzer. You see a summary table of all SPAN destination ports and
configured Cisco Traffic Analyzers in your fabric. The source column shows the ports that are monitored
by the SPAN destination port.
Step 2 Click the Cisco Traffic Analyzer that connects to the SPAN port you want to monitor to launch that Cisco
Traffic Analyzer within Fabric Manager Web Services.
To launch the Cisco Traffic Analyzer outside Fabric Manager, follow these steps:
Step 1 Change to the directory where the Cisco Traffic Analyzer is installed and run the script file. For example,
if you have installed nTop under /usr/local on Linux, type this:
cd /usr/local/fc-ntop
sh -x ntop.sh
Step 2 Access the nTop URL by typing http://localhost:3000 in the Address field of your web browser.
Tip To modify the script that launches nTop (ntop.sh or ntop.bat), follow the instructions provided within the
script file. Create a backup of the original script before modifying the file.
—Linux platforms use the shell script path. The nTop output is sent to the syslog file (/var/log/messages
by default).
—Windows platforms use the batch file. The nTop output is sent to a file located in the same directory
as the one from which nTop is launched.
