Accurate monitoring of IN / OUT Traffic

Accurate monitoring of IN / OUT Traffic

Hi,
 
W.r.t accurate monitoring of traffic for IN & OUT on WAN interface, I have following questions.
 
1. Any document from Manage Engine which suggests under which scenario we need to use which of the following commands and on which interface ?

ip route cache flow

ip flow ingress

ip flow egress

As of current information, we need to use only one of these command on sub interface of router from where traffic is flowing out to WAN.

2. Can we use combination of these commands on interfaces ? and if yes how ?

3. Any document from Cisco which gives clear idea on IOS versions supporting "ingress" and "egress" commands ?

I had referred below URL for the same, but still doubt is not clear.

 
Please give detailed inputs so that I am clear on making changes to production environment.
 
Regards,
Sumit
