INFORMATION REPORTING FOR ANOMALY DETECTION

In one embodiment, a first device in a network receives traffic flow data from a plurality of devices in the network. The traffic flow data from at least one of the plurality of devices comprises raw packets of a traffic flow. The first device selects a set of reporting devices from among the plurality of devices based on the received traffic flow data. The first device provides traffic flow reporting instructions to the selected set of reporting devices. The traffic flow reporting instructions cause each reporting device to provide sampled traffic flow data to an anomaly detection device.
