AUTOMATIC TARGET SELECTION
First Claim
1. A method of identifying targets for monitoring, comprising:
- obtaining a user-defined filter map, the user-defined filter map having one or more filter rules for matching against network traffic when the user-defined filter map is used by a network system to process the network traffic; and
determining a set of one or more targets by a processing unit based at least in part on the user-defined filter map, wherein the processing unit comprises a target selection module configured to access a list of available targets from a database, and select the one or more targets from the list of available targets based at least in part on the user-defined filter map.

Abstract
A method of identifying targets for monitoring includes: obtaining a user-defined filter map, the user-defined filter map having one or more filter rules for matching against network traffic when the user-defined filter map is used by a network system to process the network traffic. and determining a set of one or more targets by a processing unit based at least in part on the user-defined filter map, wherein the processing unit comprises a target selection module configured to access a list of available targets from a database, and select the one or more targets from the list of available targets based at least in part on the user-defined filter map.

16. An apparatus for identifying targets for monitoring, comprising:
-
a non-transitory medium for storing a user-defined filter map, the user-defined filter map having one or more filter rules for matching against network traffic when the user-defined filter map is used by a network system to process the network traffic; and a processing unit configured for determining a set of one or more targets based at least in part on the user-defined filter map; wherein the processing unit comprises a target selection module configured to determine the set of one or more targets by accessing a list of available targets from a database, and selecting the one or more targets from the list of available targets based at least in part on the user-defined filter map. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)

31. An apparatus having a non-transitory medium storing a set of instructions, an execution of which by a processing unit causes a method of identifying targets for monitoring to be performed, the method comprising:
-
obtaining a user-defined filter map, the user-defined filter map having one or more filter rules for matching against network traffic when the user-defined filter map is used by a network system to process the network traffic; and determining a set of one or more targets by the processing unit based at least in part on the user-defined filter map, wherein the processing unit comprises a target selection module configured to access a list of available targets from a database, and select the one or more targets from the list of available targets based at least in part on the user-defined filter map.
