What does the traffic information provided by the agent traffic component refer to?

The traffic information provided by the agent traffic component specifically refers to flow and packet data. This data captures the details regarding the communication between services and applications within the environment. It enables organizations to understand how their applications interact with each other over the network, including insights into both the volume of traffic and the types of protocols being used.

This information is critical for security and visibility, as it helps in identifying potential security threats and understanding normal vs. anomalous behavior in the network. By analyzing flow and packet data, security teams can effectively implement segmentation policies, enabling them to protect their environments and enforce compliance requirements.
