Real-time NetFlow Analyzer

Real-time NetFlow Analyzer is a network monitoring tool designed specifically for helping you keep an eye on your NetFlow network traffic and view details about inbound and outbound connections in real time.

You are welcomed by a clean layout that allows starting or stopping the network monitoring process. You can keep track of multiple devices and view details about the interface, in/out traffic data, as well as flow type.

Real-time NetFlow Analyzer gives you the possibility to set up your NetFlow-based device with the aid of a wizard-like assistant that offers guidance throughout the entire configuration process.

You need to provide details about the hostname or IP address of the NetFlow device you want to configure, pick the SNMP version used when communicating with the device, as well as perform a test to check for connection errors.

Real-time NetFlow Analyzer helps you capture and analyze NetFlow data, namely flow data about applications, conversations, domains, endpoints, and protocols. You are allowed to specify the port number the utility listens to and indicate the file location where the captured data is stored (to SNCF file format).

The application is able to store up to 60 minutes of captured information and provides details about all traffic passing through the specific port of an application, traffic based on source and destination IP, source and destination port, protocol, all traffic in a domain, data transmitted and received from/to a host, as well as traffic that matches a specific protocol.

Last but not least, the application includes in the installation package a tool, NetFlow Configurator, which can be used for remotely setting up NetFlow via SNMP on supported Cisco devices.

Real-time NetFlow Analyzer packs a smart suite of features for helping you gather information about your NetFlow network. On the downside, it hasn’t been updated for a while, so it may cause compatibility issues on newer operating systems.

NOTE: SolarWinds Real-time NetFlow Analyzer supports NetFlow Version 5 and records up to 60 minutes of NetFlow data.
