Flowmon
Monitoring Center
The Monitoring Center (FMC) is the beating heart of the Flowmon solution; a professional tool for effective network troubleshooting, performance monitoring and capacity planning. Instead of just the red/green infrastructure status, it helps users to understand user experience while keeping the amount of data noise and analytical work to a minimum.

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 and performance metrics. 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 out-of-the-box using predefined dashboards and the so-called configuration templates. They are presets designed to reduce configuration time down to only a few clicks. There are over a dozen basic templates reflecting the most common needs of users (Office 365, G Suite, social networks), including
a number of enterprise protocols (DNS, DHCP,...) and media services.

Once a template is chosen, it automatically creates dashboards, widgets and reports and populate 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 with 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 security tools and platforms, whether it is through syslog, SNMP, email, REST API or custom scripts. Flowmon servers 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

Optimise 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

Comprehensive Network Visibility

The DDoS Defender comes as a package with full network performance monitoring and diagnostic functionality. This enables tracking latency degradation, traffic structure analysis for capacity planning, traffic engineering and QoS monitoring.

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.
Customised 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 Wizzard

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, maximise the relevancy of detected events.

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
LAN/WAN Monitoring
Tune your network performance to its finest with a centralised dashboard. Monitor user activity within different subnets and VLANs, track connectivity, latency and QoS. Get comprehensive east-west visibility, identify different applications and track user transactions traversing LAN/WAN.
Logging and Reporting
Feed your Log Management or SIEM system with comprehensive logging with context-rich syslog or SNMP messages. Maximise visibility across IT environment or log events automatically into your ticketing tools.
Prioritisation and Reporting

Use out-of-the-box prioritisation or apply your own severity rules at a global, group or user level. Create custom dashboards for security, networking, IT helpdesk or managers based on their interests.

NetOps and SecOps Integrated

Flowmon is a single pane of glass for both teams while respecting their needs. A unique combination of early detection, security event warnings and deep visibility into network help NetOps and SecOps teams cooperate on incident handling and root cause analysis.

Real-time NetFlow/IPFIX Monitoring

Reduce downtime and fix performance issues by analysing network traffic metadata collected from your physical, virtual or cloud infrastructure.
