Connection Explorer
The Connection Explorer (Explorer link, right side of Network Dashboard) shows all application flows and TCP Connections for an application in one table. Use the Connection Explorer for large, complex applications. You can sort the table based on network KPIs to locate flows with performance issues; then you can drill down and analyze the supporting connections in right-click Connection Dashboards. See Flows, Links, and Connections.
The Connection Explorer shows information for:
Network Links

If two flows connect through a Load Balancer (LB), the table shows the LB IP:port and the connection source:
Flow direction: LB --> Tier
Flow direction: Tier --> LB
