Network bandwidth monitoring is one of the most critical activities of an enterprise network
administrator. NetFlow Analyzer is a bandwidth monitor that provides several instant reports to
monitor bandwidth including top talkers, top protocols, top conversations, and more. The
reports can be exported as pdf, csv, or can even be mailed to you. Apart from these pre-defined
bandwidth reports, NetFlow Analyzer bandwidth monitor also includes options to search for
specific bandwidth usage details based on IP address, host name, protocol, and more.

Threshold Based Alerting

NetFlow Analyzer Bandwidth Monitor allows you to set thresholds for the bandwidth utilization,
get alerts and emails when the threshold value is exceeded. This helps in quicker
understanding of the problem in the network and hence quicker action.

Bandwidth Monitoring without Probes

NetFlow Analyzer does network bandwidth monitoring using NetFlow. NetFlow exports are
collected, correlated, and analyzed by the bandwidth monitor to get granular details to monitor
bandwidth usage across each WAN link. There is no need for hardware probes to monitor
bandwidth usage. NetFlow Analyzer bandwidth monitor is an all software solution which is
suitable for both Windows and Linux.

Real-time Bandwidth Monitoring

Bandwidth monitoring reports for each interface shows the current, average, and peak
bandwidth usage patterns across each NetFlow-enabled interface. With these bandwidth usage
statistics you can get instant visibility into how much bandwidth was used up by hosts,
applications, and conversations across a specific interfaces. The NetFlow Analyzer is a great
bandwidth monitor to get real time data about bandwidth being used.
Historical Bandwidth Usage Trends

The NetFlow Analyzer bandwidth monitor allows you to view the bandwidth usage over a
period of time. Bandwidth monitoring trends shows the usage patterns and traffic trends
across a day, week, month, and a year. With such statistics, you can analyze how bandwidth is
used in your network, and decide if you need to increase available bandwidth.

Application-wise Bandwidth Distribution

To monitor bandwidth utilized by different applications, NetFlow Analyzer bandwidth monitor

gives you instant visibility into which applications are using up maximum bandwidth. You can
also drill down to see the top sources, destinations and conversations using the bandwidth.
With such granular detail, network troubleshooting and problem resolution take far less time
than with traditional tools.
Consolidated Bandwidth Usage Summary

Bandwidth Monitor's reports summarizes the bandwidth utilized and show the overall
bandwidth usage statistics for a WAN link. You can monitor bandwidth usage patterns in real
time, along with details on hosts, applications, and conversations using up bandwidth for the
selected time period. Options to see bandwidth usage during peak working hours is also
available.
Wishing you a happy bandwidth monitoring!

and also helps in identifying unofficial applications using bandwidth. Custom reports let you
search for specific hosts, protocols, or conversations using bandwidth.

Enhanced Data Storage

NetFlow Analyzer stores both the aggregated data and the non-aggregated (raw) data. The
aggregated 'top 100' data is stored forever and provides reports for capacity planning and long
term reporting. The non-aggregated (or raw) data can be stored for upto 1 month and allows
troubleshooting with 1 minute granularity.

Instant Bandwidth Reports

NetFlow Analyzer's bandwidth reports show important information on bandwidth usage. With a
single click, you can identify top talkers, top applications, top protocols, and more. With intuitive
pie-charts and graphs, NetFlow Analyzer makes this information easy to understand and export
as PDF files.

" It was easy to install, has a very clean interface with good reporting features, and is a
better value than other retail options. "

Michael Pringle,
Network Engineer, Washington University School of Medicine

Traditional Network traffic monitor tools analyze using hardware probes or packet analyzers to
offer granular and detailed information on network traffic. However, hardware probes require
complex deployment procedures, and typically do not account for IPsec traffic. And packet
analyzers flood you with results that do not offer direct insight into application-specific traffic in
the network. As a result, IT department is faced with an increased troubleshooting cycle, and an
extended time to make critical decisions affecting the network.

Today with Cisco’s NetFlow innovation ( and other flows from other vendors), network traffic
monitoring takes far less time and effort, and yields much bigger benefits to the enterprise.
NetFlow makes traffic monitoring possible by collecting granular details on IP traffic
continuously, without affecting device performance or increasing costs. Using this exported
NetFlow data, ManageEngine NetFlow Analyzer gives network administrators/managers the
visibility that they require to understand the WAN. Armed with powerful instant reports on top
talkers, conversations, and more, NetFlow Analyzer tells IT exactly what they need to know in
order to troubleshoot or make informed capacity planning decisions.

NetFlow Analyzer is a web-based tool that analyzes NetFlow exports from Cisco routers to
monitor network traffic metrics including, traffic volume, traffic speed, packets, top talkers,
bandwidth utilization, and high usage times. There are various reports that can be obtained
from NetFlow Analyzer. It is very simple to deploy and start working with. You can install
NetFlow Analyzer on a Windows or Linux machine, and use a web browser to access the client
interface. After installing, set up your Cisco routers/switches to export NetFlow data to NetFlow
Analyzer. Within minutes, traffic graphs are plotted and reports are automatically generated by
NetFlow Analyzer, and you are all set to monitor traffic in your network.

Users can drill down in to the interfaces to view information on the traffic, application, source,
destination, conversation, DSCP and QoS of the traffic.

With NetFlow Analyzer you can monitor traffic and do much more!
