Flowmon Probe, Traffic Monitoring Enabler

Sometimes the application team gets into trouble where ongoing communication between APIs is interrupted, or experiences a delay so that the response obtained has an error or even no response at all to the peer concerned. This kind of thing will certainly take time and resources from the application team or L2 or L3 team to do tracing, where the actual problem occurs. TCP dump is one way that can be done, but of course this will take time and additional space that must be provided. With the tools such as appliance issued by Flowmon that can do the job of checking the communication between peers on the network neatly and accurately with Flowmon Probe.

Do you know who is doing what and when in your network? With Flowmon Probe you will never miss any information about IP traffic communication. Take decisive actions to manage and secure your IT environment with high performance NetFlow/IPFIX exporters, which support even 100G wire speed processing.

Traffic monitoring enabler
Flowmon probe is an essential tool for modern network traffic monitoring. The Probe is a high-performance appliance providing network engineers with detailed
statistics on network communication in the form of IP flows (NetFlow v5/v9, IPFIX). These flow statistics provide detailed and accurate information about who communicates with whom, when, how long, how often, how much data has been sent and much more information from the L2 – L4 layers. This information is crucial to ensure network troubleshooting, network capacity planning, peering and SLA compliance, monitoring of users and devices, network security and other use cases.

Flowmon Probes do not affect network traffic in any way and overcome the limitations of generating flow data by routers and switches. Additionally, Flowmon Probes extend visibility with network performance and application layer monitoring which opens up completely new possibilities allowing administrators to identify performance
bottlenecks, enhance user experience and deal with more complex network issues. Flow statistics are exported to storage for further analysis by a Flowmon Collector or other NetFlow/IPFIX compatible application. Thanks to its monitoring capabilities, Flowmon Probe can resolve up to 95 % of all operational issues in the network.
