Application Categories

This page provides the application categories used by Netify's application detection engine. You can reference the category ID and tag in flow expressions to classify, manage, and control traffic at the application layer. These same category values are also exposed in telemetry records and available via the Application API.

For protocols, please visit the protocol categories page.

From the command line, you can also get a listing of application and protocol IDs/tags with:
