Bandwidth Utilization Monitoring
- Bandwidth Threshold Alerting: Receive instant notifications and detailed reports when interface bandwidth utilization exceeds predefined thresholds. This proactive alerting mechanism ensures timely response to network congestion or performance degradation.
Bandwidth Usage by IP Groups: Analyze network traffic using custom IP address groups to gain insights into traffic patterns and behavior. By categorizing traffic based on IP groups, users can effectively monitor specific network segments and detect anomalous activities.
Bandwidth Usage by Application: Identify bandwidth-intensive applications and track their traffic patterns based on designated ports, source IPs, destination IPs, and protocols. This granular visibility enables efficient bandwidth management and optimization.
Network Traffic Monitoring and Forensics
- Traffic Analysis Dashboard: Customize network traffic views on a single dashboard to quickly identify potential issues. Top-ten views provide at-a-glance insights, while an intuitive interface allows for easy root cause analysis and troubleshooting.
Network Traffic Forensics: Drill down into traffic data to investigate excessive bandwidth utilization or unexpected application traffic. Multiple views and analysis tools empower administrators to isolate and resolve network issues effectively.
Cross-Stack Network Data Correlation: Accelerate problem resolution by correlating network performance metrics across different layers of the network stack. This feature enables administrators to identify and address issues affecting overall network performance.
