 ==== NAT issues ==== ==== NAT issues ====
 +
 +The default behaviour is to show the Internal and External IP addresses. The NAT is hidden from Trisul , if you wish to see the NAT'd firewall address set the  following parameter to FALSE in the [[https://​www.trisul.org/​docs/​ref/​netflow-config.html|Netflow configuration file]]
 +
 +<​code>​
 +        <​UsePostNATAddresses>​False</​UsePostNATAddresses>​
 +
 +</​code>​
 +
 +
 +==== Query by user-id and app-id ====
 +
 +The next step is to create a [[https://​www.trisul.org/​docs/​ug/​tools/​flow_tagger.html|flow tagger]] that adds the User-ID and App-ID to every flow stored in Trisul. ​
 +
 +Login as admin, then go to profile0 > Flow Taggers > Create a new Flow Tagger. ​ Then create an AUTO:​userid ​ flow tagger (see docs) to add the User-ID counter group keys to the flow. Use a Tagger Group of ''​user''​ as shown below
 +
 +{{:​tips:​flow-tag-create.png?​400|}}
 +
 +Do the same for App-ID. ​ Now restart Trisul. From this point every flow will be tagged by the User-ID and App-ID. ​
 +
 +=== Query flows ===
 +
 +
 +//From Tools > Explore Flows// ​
 +Use the syntax ''​tag=[user]red\mike'' ​ to query for flows from user ''​red\mike''​
 +or ''​tag=[app]whatsapp-base''​ to query whatsapp flows. ​
 +
 +You can see the flow tags.
 +{{:​tips:​flowtag1.png?​400|}}
 +
 +
 +
 +=== Aggregate flows  ===
 +
 +//From Tools > Aggregate Flows// ​
 +Use ''​tag=[user]red\mike'' ​ to aggregate for flows from user ''​red\mike''​
 +
 +This shows top IPs, top Applications,​ and other aggregated information for the user. A complete picture. ​
 +
 +A sample is shown below.

 +
 +==== Conclusion ====
 +
 +User-ID and App-ID attributes open up very powerful possibilities for visibility and investigation. Using the flexible tools offered by the Trisul platform you can customize in a variety of ways. Other tools you can use are "​Filtered Counter Groups"​ if you want to zoom in on a particular user or app,  "Cross keys" to monitor User App dataflows, "Flow Trackers"​ to zoom in on top flows from a particular user, etc. The scripting API also offers unlimited ways to craft your own tooling.
