1. A method for analyzing network flow activity implemented by a network traffic management system comprising one or more network traffic management apparatuses, client devices or server devices, the method comprising:

  • identifying one or more virtual resources associated with one or more servers;

    acquiring flow data associated with one or more paths for one or more packets communicating between the one or more virtual resources in a first time period;

    determining any recommended network flow actions by;

    generating one or more flow mappings by extracting IP addresses from the flow data associated with the one or more paths in the first time period;

    analyzing the acquired flow data associated with the one or more paths in the first time period using the generated flow mappings; and

    automatically executing any recommended network flow action on one or more flows.
