[Nfsen-discuss] Creating a NFSEN query from another web-application

[Tristan R. <Tri...@we...>]

Greetings,

I use a web-based open-source network management application that I
would like to integrate with NFsen.  For example, when a user is looking
at an IP node, I'd like them to be able to see the recent netflow
traffic for that IP.  What I envision is a link from the IP node view
that sends the user to NFsen with a pre-filled query.  Here is an
example of the query I would like to automatically send to NFsen and
show to the user:

- Details Tab
- Select the last hour of netflow data
- Select All Sources
- Create a filter for the IP node - "host $host"
- Either the "first x flows" or the "top x flows" option
- The results will be displayed below without having to click
"process"

I have seen the bookmark functionality, but I don't know if that will
work in this case.  The URL doesn't contain variables, it just looks
like a unique value that is stored somewhere on the server.  Any
thoughts on how I can accomplish this?
