For NSP Analytics reports, the following considerations apply:

  • To collect DNS statistics, add applications that have been created to model DNS server types.

  • To collect OTT VoIP statistics, enter the names of the VoIP OTT applications, for example, Skype Calls, you want to report on.

  • The application and application group name you configure in the NSP Flow Collector web UI must match the application name exactly, including blanks, as seen in the report prompt in the NSP Analytics.
