01 Flow collection across exporters
Ingest NetFlow v5/v9, IPFIX, sFlow and compatible vendor/J-Flow formats with configured exporter identity and observation context. Normalize source, destination, interface and direction so different devices contribute to a consistent traffic picture.
02 Top talkers and conversations
Explore the sources, destinations, protocol and port combinations that account for traffic in the selected period. Move from a fleet view to a particular conversation while retaining its site, interface and time context.
03 Application and service context
Use exporter-provided application metadata, service mappings and observed relationships to explain traffic in operational terms. Keep the origin and confidence of classifications visible so a protocol or domain label is not mistaken for deeper application inspection.
04 Site, subnet and ASN analysis
Compare site-to-site matrices, subnet and VRF traffic, cloud destinations and ASN relationships. Trace where demand crosses business or provider boundaries and identify the circuits carrying the affected services.
05 QoS and traffic quality
Place class-level offered traffic, queue pressure and drops beside utilization and the relevant conversations. Separate a growing bandwidth demand from a policy or congestion problem affecting a particular service class.
06 Historical identity and enrichment
Resolve addresses against the relevant time using inventory, DNS, DHCP and IPAM evidence. Preserve source, freshness and confidence for entity, cloud, ASN and authorized session enrichment so current ownership does not overwrite an incident's history.
07 Sampling and coverage you can assess
Expose sampling factors, template health, sequence gaps, exporter resets and collection loss. Where compatible, compare Flow totals with interface evidence to show the observed coverage and help engineers judge the strength of the analysis.
08 Traffic trends, anomalies and capacity
Compare current demand with prior periods and established baselines; inspect sustained utilization, percentiles and growth. Connect unusual patterns to topology, route changes and service impact before choosing a capacity or policy response.
09 Focused incident evidence
Attach Flow summaries, selected conversations and traffic snapshots to the investigation. When deeper verification is required, authorized packet evidence uses explicit filters and time or size limits, preserving a focused record for review.
