Monitor custom applications bidirectional

Hello,

I looking for a solution for my issue.

I want to monitor an application bidirectional. I have a Server IP Address and the used Port.

When I add a new application with source "any" and destination "IP of Server" and a specific port. I'm only able to see the traffic in one way. In this case egress.

How is it possible to monitor this application bidirectional? I can add this application a second time with source "IP of Server" and destination "any" and the same used port. Now I can see the traffic in the other way in a second application with the same name. Is it possible to merge these two application into one? I think this was working in NTA 3.9, but in NTA 3.10 there are still two seperate applications with the same name. For each traffic direction is a seperate application.

Please have a look to my screenshot and the application "Exchange".

Please advise and best regards.

I have the same question with the version 3.11. Did you received any kind of answer?

Hello,

I found a workaround for me.

I've created an IP Address Group which includes all clients and the server for the corresponding application. Now you can add a new application which the source AND destination Address of the previous created group. Now you can see this application bidirectional, because in both ways the source addresses or the destination addresses match.

My problem is that a port e.g. 80 can only monitored one time. I would like to monitor applications on port 80 with different source or destination addresses. We have a lot of web-application and all use the same port. Is there a way to monitor different applications with the same ports but with different destination addresses?
