Ubiquiti released verison 1.8 of the Edgemax firmware today
-
The traffic analysis they added in 1.7 was useless because it could only look at offloaded traffic.
This is a major improvement for 1.8. I installed the update while the family ate dinner. then we played a board game and then the girls got to watch one episode of something on Netflix. So much better to see the traffic now.

That screenshot is from an ERL, but yes it is on the ERX also. Or should be.

Oh cool I wonder how that will affect performance. If I remember right the ERX has to do that in software.

If I remember correctly the traffic analysis was only available on the ERL and higher (on 1.7) because they had dedicated hardware to do the analysis. The ERX would have had to offload that to the CPU and EdgeOS for analysis. That's the platform difference in the release notes for 1.7
Current the traffic analysis and DPI/application identification features are not available on the new EdgeRouter X and EdgeRouter X SFP models due to platform differences.

Well, maybe they did not add it to the ERX in 1.8. I only skiimmed the new feature list for the ERX.
