connection summary
Connection data aggregated over a five-minute interval. The system uses connection summaries to build 
s an
s. To be aggregated, multiple 
s must represent the end of 
connections, have the same source and destination IP addresses, and use the same port on the responder 
(destination
. They must use the same protocol (TCP or UDP) and 
they must either be detected by the same Cisco managed 
, or be exported by the same 
-enabled device.
connection tracker
One or more conditions that constrain a 
 so that after the rule’s initial criteria are met, the 
system begins tracking certain

additional criteria.
Context Explorer
A page that displays detailed, interactive graphical information about your monitored network, using 
, file, 
, malware, and 
. Distinct sections present 
information in the form of vivid line, bar, pie, and donut graphs, accompanied by detailed lists. You can 
easily create and apply custom filters to fine-tune your analysis, and you can examine data sections in 
more detail by clicking or hovering your cursor over graph areas. Compared with a 
, which is 
highly customizable, compartmentalized, and updates in real time, the Context Explorer is manually

A feature you can use to build a

your own custom remediation modules to respond to 
 violations.
