    With the integration of UIM and Network Flow Analysis, I can see flow data along side interface data, but I don't see metrics available which would allow me to create a list based only on flow data.  Is it possible to do this?  There is a view in this dashboard gallery that shows what I am looking for: http://www.ca.com/~/media/Images/lpg/nimsoft-monitor-dashboard-gallery/large-images/10-NetFlow.png

    At this time it's not possible.  The flow data is never actually  stored in the database as most QOS is.  The USM makes a call to NFA to request the data in real time and it is not stored on a permanent basis on the UIM side.

    Looking at the screenshot you posted - this appears to be a shot of the (now deprecated) ump_flow portlet, which was part of UMP 6 and 7. It worked much the same way as the current integration, just looked different as it was standalone and not part of USM.
