Interface view is the place where the network puzzle unravels. The place where every network administrator looks for, to get a view of what is happening in the network, the top talkers, network traffic details etc. This view helps in quicker identifications of the cause of a network issue and hence faster troubleshooting. This is almost an index of all the routers/switches that have their interfaces monitored by the NetFlow Analyzer.
Some of the questions that will be answered by a quick glance of this interface view are:
- How many interfaces are associated with each router
- Utilization of each interface
- In and out traffic ( volume and % of utilization) for each interface
- Troubleshoot report for a particular interface
- Consolidated report for a particular interface
- If NBAR monitoring is being done on the interface
- If CBQoS monitoring is done on the interface
- Quick view speed graph
- If any preset alerts have been triggered for the particular interface
- The various IP groups created. Traffic details and more for all the IP groups
That was just the tip of the iceberg. You can select any one interface of significance to you and drill down into it to view all the application, the traffic source, destination, conversations, QoS, DSCP etc.
ManageEngine NetFlow Analyzer also has the option to see the interface view for various time periods as per the user’s requirement. The following is a screenshot of the interface view. You can try NetFlow Analyzer at the live DEMO available here.
