A third-party system user needs to configure the generation of original flow files of the network traffic analyzer (NTA) component before the system startup and set the storage duration and clearing period of the files to 1 hour and 3 minutes, respectively. - Configuring the Interconnection with the third-party system (pull)
In the nbi.xml file, configure the interconnection between eSight and the third-party system in pull mode to enable the third-party system to log in to the eSight FTP server using an FTP client to download NTA northbound files. - Verifying Configurations
