## Unknown Monitor

The Unknown monitor provides visibility into all non-standard and custom applications running in your enterprise network.

By default Enterprise360 recognizes every application running in the enterprise network.

However only applications running over standard ports are the ones on which Enterprise360 applies the appropriate names automatically. Enterprise360 tags all traffic running over non-standard ports as unknown. All of them are listed as “unknown” in the unknown monitor as well as the other related monitors.

Admin users are expected to discover their custom/non-standard apps using the “unknown” link as context in the conversation table of the unknown monitor and provide the right name in the App-definition utility. See “[<span style="color: #2919f3">Discovering Non-standard Apps using Unknown Monitor</span>](Discovering_Non-standard_Apps_using_Unknown_Monitor.htm)<span style="color: #2919f3">”</span>.

Once custom apps are defined as described in the highlighted section, Enterprise360 names the application as per definition, classifies the associated traffic properly and displays the defined name in all monitors.
