Abstract
In a segmented network environment, a traffic flow graph provides visibility into the connections between workloads or groups of workloads under management of a segmentation policy. Squelching rules may be applied to hide traffic in the traffic flow graph that meets specified criteria. The squelching rules may be label-based rules that enable configuration of squelching rules that apply to group of workloads and enable configurations to be rapidly updated as workloads or added or dropped from the network or as their configurations change. Additionally, squelching rules may be applied based on characteristics of the traffic data or based on an identity of an administrator viewing the traffic flow graph.
