local_port

Number

Port number originating the packet.

remote_ip

IPv4 or IPv6 address

IP address of the destination of the packet. Supports CIDR block notation.

remote_port

Number

Port number receiving the packet.

status

String

The status of the TCP transaction (not available in UDP transactions).

process_id

Number

The originating process's ID.

user

String

The user that owns the originating process.

user_id

String

The user ID of the process owning the socket.

proto

String

The packet's protocol: TCP or UDP.

md5

String

Example: Show process image names for current flow originating on CIDR block 10.250.45.0/24 and targeting endpoint 10.0.0.2.
CurrentFlow process_id where CurrentFlow local_ip contains 10.250.45.0/24 and CurrentFlow remote_ip equals 10.0.0.2
