Streamlined Analytical Workflow

1
Clear Visualization

The face of the FMC is the dashboard - a highly customizable interface designed for the visualization of traffic structure, performance metrics, and infrastructure topology. It features flexible and customizable widgets in order to make it possible for it to adjust to the user’s every need.

2
Predefined Views and Dashboard

The solution can be configured automatically using presets and predefined dashboards. There are over a dozen basic presets reflecting the most common needs of users (Office 3U65, G Suite, social networks), including a number of enterprise protocols (DNS, DHCP,...) and media services. In addition, users and service providers can share their custom dashboards with others.

Once a preset is chosen, it automatically creates dashboards, widgets and reports and populates them with data to perfectly fulfil the purpose it was designed for.

The list of templates is continuously being expanded depending on the evolving user needs and IT trends.

3
Analytics Drill-down

Drill-down options are available from anywhere in the dashboard. Every widget, whether it is a traffic chart, graph or a list of alerts, can be displayed in an analytical view for additional detail as well as sorting and filtering options (e.g. by protocols, time periods, or source/destination IP address). From there, it is possible to continue deeper, down to the level of flows or packets, with the ability to display very specific details, such as the activity of a chosen
IP address, complete with information on active devices, vendors, or flow sources (where available).

The statistics are exportable at every level of the above-described drill-down.

Integrations

There are infinite possibilities to integrate the solution with complementary tools and platforms, whether it is through syslog, SNMP, REST API or custom scripts. Flowmon serves as a vital source of information to log management, SIEM, big data platforms, incident handling or security automation tools.
 
Network telemetry

Leverage your existing infrastructure as sensors that generate NetFlow, IPFIX, sFlow, jFlow or NetStream from network devices and other data sources such as public cloud platforms, firewalls, virtualization platforms and packet brokers.


and more
Logging and reporting

Feed your log management or SIEM system with comprehensive logging with context-rich syslog or SNMP messages. Maximize visibility across the IT environment or log events into your ticketing tools automatically.

FMC Features

Bandwidth Monitoring

Optimize capacity planning, peering agreements and take control over bandwidth usage. With hard data about top users, devices, applications and services you can make effective decisions to save costs on infrastructure and connectivity.

 

Discover use case

 

Network Traffic Monitoring

Ensure the reliability, availability and security of business services with confidence. Flow provides visibility into traffic structure to streamline decision making and save costs on NetOps.

Discover use case

BYOD Monitoring

Monitor BYOD traffic to get visibility and control over connected devices. Passive device fingerprinting allows you to identify the device manufacturer, OS and web browser. Extend this with the real user identity (i.e. username or hostname) by using logs from any authentication system to get more control.

Application and Network Latency
Distinguish between latency caused by server and client. See which users are affected and resolve the problem before it impacts your business. Measure fault, performance and availability of your local, hosted or SaaS applications.
Customized Dashboards

Understand network traffic structure, identify top talkers, bandwidth usage, latency issues. All in easily understandable charts and statistics. Use the off-the-shelf dashboard, create your own or shared group dashboards.

Learn More
Configuration Wizard

The system comes with pre-defined configurations for a variety of network types and automatically adjusts the settings after the initial configuration by using a simple wizard. Then, by managing false positives, maximize the relevancy of detected events.
