Export Network Flows from vRealize Network Insight 

Apr 13, 2020 06:29 PM

This vRealize Network Insight Python SDK example script saves all network flows that match the search query used in the code. Make sure to update the filter_string variable into a search that's valid for your environment. Currently, it'll export internet flows coming from the vCenter datacenter name HaaS-1, as an example. This script requires the vRNI Python SDK, which is available here: https://github.com/vmware/network-insight-sdk-python

The output will be a CSV file, with these columns: 'src_ip', 'dst_ip', 'src_vm', 'src_security_groups', 'port'
