NetFlow Analyzer

Monitor Cisco NetFlow and bandwidth usage with a NetFlow analyzer tool

Perform thorough Cisco NetFlow analysis and monitoring in real-time

Network bandwidth management is a vital activity for every network engineer, and SolarWinds® NetFlow Traffic Analyzer (NTA) enables the powerful insights you need with its NetFlow feature for Cisco and more. Use NetFlow analysis for everything through to the interface level, giving you the ability to identify the users, applications, and protocols consuming the most bandwidth. Get insights into traffic patterns over time and with up to one-minute granularity.

Use Cisco NetFlow monitoring to track bandwidth use by user, application, and protocol

NTA’s NetFlow analysis functionalities allows network admins to monitor and capture the range of flow data types—including Cisco NetFlow, Juniper J-Flow, sFlow, Huawei NetStream, and IP FIX—built into most routers and switches. Cisco flow monitors convert data into easy-to-interpret charts and tables to quantify exactly how the network is being used. Identifying the users, applications, or protocols consuming the most bandwidth is key to delivering quality service.

Correlate data across network events for better network traffic analysis

Once flow data is collected, NTA’s powerful NetFlow analyzer feature can provide critical insights helping you to identify network top talkers and bandwidth consumers. You can view updated charts and tables for quick insights into potential problem applications. But NTA also allows you to drag and drop cross-stack performance metrics on a shared timeline for easy visual identification of anomalous events and irregular activity, both in the moment and during past intervals. 

Run and customize network traffic reporting in a few clicks

NTA automatically stores flow data in the NTA Flow Storage database, while Class Based Quality of Service (CBQoS) data is stored in the SolarWinds Orion® database. Both databases accumulate NetFlow analysis data for your use—from archival information to up-to-the-minute granularity. NTA offers predefined reports, customizable reports, and NetFlow-specific reports—ensuring you’re just clicks away from being able to create, schedule, and deliver detailed reports on network traffic and bandwidth.

Do you find yourself asking…
“Netflow is one of the most useful tools in my arsenal because it’s not subject to the logging verbosity that any individual operating system or application might implement. [...] I use NTA all the time to investigate suspicious activity and suspect hosts.”
