This is a very minor thing but wanted to ask about it anyway... When clicking on the "Export Data" button that is available in many places, I saw that the file extension is .txt. Since it actually appears to be a tab-delimited file, can the extension be changed to something that would automatically be opened by Excel instead of it trying to use the text editor?

Could it be a comma-delimited file instead of tab-delimited? Comma-delimited seems to be more common for this type of data.

What would be really nice is if you had the same export options like in the main WUG program where you're given the option of text or Excel format and if you want text format, then you can choose comma- or tab-delimited.

Hey, Mark,

You can configure NetFlow Monitor to export to text file or Excel. When you're in the NetFlow Monitor user interface, the export settings are under GO > Configure > NetFlow Data Export Settings.

These settings are global for all reports.

Does that do what you need it to?

Will

Ah, yes, that's exactly it! Though not a big deal, it would just be nice to have the same interface as WUG. It might help prevent confusion (as in my case) and be more uniform between the products.
