By default, STRM can classify many applications. When creating new or
customized application mappings, you must:
Step 1
Update the Application Views in the STRM Administration interface, which
contains group and object information. For more information on updating the
Applications Views, see the
STRM Administration Guide.
Step 2
Configure the application mapping parameters in the Flow Collector parameters.
For more information, see the
STRM Administration Guide.
Step 3
Update the mapping file, which contains user defined application mappings. This
file maps user defined applications with STRM’s Application Views.
Step 4
Deploy the changes to other systems through the Administration Console. For
more information, see the
STRM Administration Guide.

Applications View
Once a flow is detected, STRM assigns an application ID to the flow based on the
content of the flow, the protocol used for the flow, and the port. The particular
application ID assigned to a flow depends on the values configured in the mapping
files. This file also allows the application ID to be mapped to values defined in the
Application View of your STRM interface, which also allows the classified data to
be stored and displayed on the STRM graphs, based on the defined application ID.
Figure 1-1
shows an example of the Chat Application View in the STRM interface,
which shows the associated ID in the Values column.
