To monitor the performance of application flows running in the virtualized environment, enable flow monitoring on a Distributed Switch.

By enabling netflow, you can monitor below mentioned traffic.

·       Intra-host virtual machine traffic (virtual machine-to-virtual machine traffic on the same host)

·       Inter-host virtual machine traffic (virtual machine-to-virtual machine traffic on different hosts)

·       Virtual machine-to-physical infrastructure traffic
