Additional Network dashboards

Port & Protocol Tracker dashboard

The Port & Protocol Tracker tracks port and protocol activity, based on the rules set up in Configure > Data Enrichment > Lists and Lookups in Enterprise Security. The table specifies the network ports that the enterprise allows. From here, new activity can be viewed by port to identify devices that are not in compliance with corporate policy, as well as detect prohibited traffic.

Filter by	Description	Action
Business Unit	A group or department classification for the identity.	Text field. Empty by default. Wildcard strings with an asterisk (*)
Category	Filter based on the categories to which the host belongs. For more information, see "Dashboard Filters" in the Installation and Configuration manual	Drop-down: select to filter by

Dashboard Panels

Panel	Description
Port/Protocol Profiler	Displays the volume network transport and port activity over time, to evaluate if port activity is trending upwards or downwards. Sudden increases in unapproved port activity may indicate a change on the networked devices, such as an infection. The drilldown redirects the page to the "New Search" dashboard and searches on the selected transport destination port and time range.
New Port Activity - Last 7 Days	Displays a table of transport and port traffic communication over time. The drilldown redirects the page to the "Traffic Search" dashboard and searches on the selected transport and time range.
Prohibited Or Insecure Traffic Over Time - Last 24 Hours	Displays the volume of prohibited network port activity over time, and helps determine if unapproved port activity is trending upwards or downwards. The drilldown redirects the page to the "New Search" dashboard and searches on the selected transport destination port and time range.
Prohibited Traffic Details - Last 24 Hours	Displays a table of the number of prohibited network traffic events. The drilldown redirects the page to the "New Search" dashboard and searches on the selected source IP, destination IP, transport, port, and time range.

Troubleshooting Network Dashboards

1. This dashboard references data from various data models. Without the applicable data, the dashboards will remain empty.

2. Use the Open in Search link available in the lower left corner of a dashboard view to perform a direct search against the data model. The New Search dashboard also exposes the search commands and objects used to populate the view.

3. Determine if any data required for a dashboard is available in the data model.

a. Determine the data model objects used by a dashboard:

Dashboard Name	Panel Title	Data Model	Data Model Object
Port & Protocol Tracker	Port/Protocol Profiler	Network Traffic	All_Traffic.transport, .dest_port
	Prohibited Or Insecure Traffic Over Time - Last 24 Hours		All_Traffic.src_category, .dest_category, .src, .dest, .transport, .dest_port
	Prohibited Traffic Details - Last 24 Hours		All_Traffic.src_category, .dest_category, .src, .dest, .transport, .dest_port
	New Port Activity - Last 7 Days	None. Calls the application protocols lookup.

b. Use the data model and data model object to search for events in the data model:

Action	Search	Expected Result
Verify the data is normalized to the Common Information Model	| datamodel data_model_name root_object_name search | table _time, sourcetype, root_object_name.* Example: | datamodel Network_Traffic All_Traffic search | dedup sourcetype | table _time, sourcetype, All_Traffic.*	Returns a list of sourcetypes and the data model objects and fields populated by that sourcetype.

4. Validate the data model is being accelerated.

In the Splunk App for Enterprise Security, browse to Audit > Data Model Audit. Review the Acceleration Details panel for information about the data model acceleration status.

Note: For more information about data model acceleration and the Enterprise Security App, see "Data models in the Enterprise Security app" in the Installation and Configuration Manual.
