Response Description

A QNI stack. The stack contains the following fields:

stack_id - Long - The ID of the QNI stack.
hosts - List<Host> - The list of the QNI managed hosts in the stack.
name - String - The name of the QNI stack.
ports_type - enum - Port configuration type for the QNI stack. The possible values are:
- IN_4
- IN_2_OUT_2
- IN_1_OUT_1
- IN_1_OUT_3
- IN_3_OUT_1
inspection_level - Optional - Enumeration - The depth of content inspection. The possible values are:
- BASIC - Lowest level of inspection. Flows are detected by 5-tuple, and the number of bytes and packets that are flowing in each direction are counted.
- ENRICHED - Each flow is identified and inspected by one of the protocol or domain inspectors. The inspection can generate many kinds of attributes.
- ADVANCED - The highest level of inspection. It does everything that the Enriched level does, but it also scans and inspects the content of the files that it finds.
- DEFAULT - Indicates that the QNI host is configured to use the globally-set inspection level.
raw_payload - Optional - Long - The maximum amount of data (Bytes) that the QFlow Collector captures and retains in the flow payload. The possible values are:
- -1: The QNI host is set to use the globally-set raw payload setting
- 0: Turn off the payload
- 1 - 32768: Number of bytes
