Interval KPI Packet Count Export

Introduced in ASN 2.5

Overview

ASN 2.5 enhances Interval Key Performance Indicator (KPI) reporting by introducing packet count metrics for both interval and active interval statistics. This enhancement provides greater visibility into traffic volume by complementing the existing bandwidth, byte count, and duration KPIs.

In addition, ASN now supports packet count threshold-based filtering for user session exports, allowing sessions to be exported only when both byte count and packet count thresholds are satisfied.

Enhanced Interval KPIs

Prior to ASN 2.5, the following interval KPIs were exported:

• KPI_INT_AVG_BW

• KPI_INT_BYTES

• KPI_INT_TIME

• KPI_INT_ACTIVE_AVG_BW

• KPI_INT_ACTIVE_BYTES

• KPI_INT_ACTIVE_TIME

ASN 2.5 introduces the following additional KPIs:

• KPI_INT_PKTS

• KPI_INT_ACTIVE_PKTS

KPI Definitions

The newly introduced KPIs provide packet count statistics for each reporting interval:

KPI	Description
KPI_INT_PKTS	Total number of packets observed during the reporting interval.
KPI_INT_ACTIVE_PKTS	Number of packets observed during the active portion of the reporting interval.

The complete set of exported interval KPIs is now:

• KPI_INT_AVG_BW

• KPI_INT_PKTS

• KPI_INT_BYTES

• KPI_INT_TIME

• KPI_INT_ACTIVE_AVG_BW

• KPI_INT_ACTIVE_PKTS

• KPI_INT_ACTIVE_BYTES

• KPI_INT_ACTIVE_TIME

This enhancement provides more granular control over Kafka exports by filtering low-volume or insignificant traffic based on both byte and packet thresholds.
