Perimeter Overview

The Perimeter Overview displays charts and interactive visualizations that help you monitor traffic that is entering and leaving your network through connections with external endpoints.

Site Selector
Click the site selector at the top of the page to view data for one or more sites in your environment. View combined traffic across your networks or focus on a single site to help you quickly find device data. The site selector indicates when all or some sites are offline. Because data is not available from offline sites, the charts and device pages associated with offline sites might not show data or might only show limited data. The site selector is only available from a console.
Executive Report
Click Generate Executive Report to create a PDF file. The Executive Report provides a summary of the top detections and risks to your network from the last week. The Executive Report only includes information for the selected sites.

Perimeter Traffic

The Perimeter Traffic charts provide an overview of device traffic with external connections.

Inbound Traffic
This count shows the total amount of inbound traffic during the selected time interval. Click the count to view the rate that data is moving inbound from external endpoints and drill down by site or conversation.
Outbound Traffic
This count shows the total amount of outbound traffic during the selected time interval. Click the count to view the rate that data is moving outbound to external endpoints and drill down by site or conversation.
Devices Accepting Inbound Connections
This count displays the number of devices that accepted inbound connections from external endpoints during the selected time interval. Click the count to open a device group overview page that displays a list of devices, traffic data, and protocol activity.
Inbound Connections
This count displays the number of inbound connections that were initiated by external endpoints. Click the count to open a detailed view of these conversations.
Suspicious Inbound Connections
This count chart displays the number of connections that were initiated by suspicious external endpoints. ExtraHop identifies suspicious endpoints through threat intelligence data. Click the chart to open a filtered view of these conversations.
Suspicious Outbound Connections
This count displays the number of connections that internal endpoints initiated with suspicious external endpoints. ExtraHop identifies suspicious endpoints through threat intelligence data. Click the chart to open a filtered view of these conversations.
Uncommon Connections
(Reveal(x) 360 only) This count displays the number of outbound connections from your network to IP addresses that are not normally visited or have not been visited in the past. Click the chart to open a filtered view of these conversations.

Halo visualization

The halo visualization provides three views of your network connections to external endpoints: Cloud Services, Countries, and Large Uploads.

External endpoints appear on the outer ring with connections to internal endpoints and appear as circles in the middle of the visualization. These visualizations enable you to prioritize your investigation for connections marked with high-risk detections or for high value devices.

To help identify high-traffic endpoints, inner circles and outer rings increase in size as traffic volume increases. In some cases, the size of inner circles and outer ring segments might be increased for readability. Click an endpoint to display precise traffic information.

Click Cloud Services to view connections between internal endpoints and cloud service providers. Cloud service providers and the amount of sent or received data appear in the information panel to the right. You can toggle between views that show Bytes Out to providers and Bytes In to your network.

Click Countries to view connections between internal endpoints and countries. The connections are broken down by the geographic location of the external endpoint. Countries and the amount of sent or received data appear in the information panel to the right. You can toggle between views that show Bytes Out to countries and Bytes In to your network.

Click Large Uploads to view connections between internal and external endpoints where over 1 MB of data was transferred in a single transmission out of your network to an external endpoint. External endpoints and the amount of uploaded data appear in the information panel to the right.

Here are some ways that you can interact with these halo visualizations:
  • Hover over endpoints or connections to view available hostnames and IP addresses.
  • Hover over endpoints or connections to highlight corresponding list items to the right. Likewise, hover over list items to highlight corresponding endpoints and connections in the halo visualization.
  • Click endpoints or connections in the halo visualization to hold focus and display precise traffic information and links for your selection to the right.
  • Click an external endpoint in the halo visualization or list to view the total amount of inbound or outbound traffic associated with the endpoint and connected internal endpoints.
  • Click an internal endpoint in the list to view device properties and access links to associated information such as detections, records, or packets.
  • Click the magnifying glass next to an endpoint in the list to view records associated with the endpoint.
  • At the bottom of the list for cloud services and countries, toggle between views that show Bytes Out and Bytes In to your network.
  • Adjust the time interval to view connections at specified times, such as unexpected activity during evenings or weekends.
