Scrutinizer is a NetFlow analyzer and incident response system that take=
s advantage of communications standards, i.e. NetFlow and IPFIX for Cisco a=
s well as other compatible switches and routers.It does this to retrieve an=
d store network traffic information for users, systems, and applications. S=
crutinizer allows administrators to monitor, graph, and report on network u=
sage patterns, and locate the heaviest traffic creators.
To help you establish Uptime Infrastructure Monitor as the core componen=
t for tracking the performance and reliability of your network, you can int=
egrate a Scrutinizer instance with Uptime Infrastructure Monitor. Once inte=
grated, you can perform the following tasks in Uptime Infrastructure Monito=
r:
- See network devices that are exportin=
g NetFlow data to Scrutinizer.
- Generate Scrutinizer graphs from NetF=
low-exporting elements. You can use the network device's Graphing page in U=
ptime Infrastructure Monitor to directly call a Scrutinizer instance. A gra=
ph that covers a specified time frame is generated, showing the monitored e=
lement's bi-directional throughput rates through known ports, which are det=
ermined based on use by all known applications.
- Generate Scrutinizer graphs from othe=
r Elements. Similar to network devices, you can use other Elements' Graphin=
g pages to generate graphs in Scrutinizer. These graphs will show network t=
raffic from the host, allowing you to pinpoint heavy users. From here, you =
will be able to select and graph other network traffic data for the host.=
li>
- Use an embedded Scrutinizer interface=
in Uptime Infrastructure Monitor's Global Scan panel, you can access all o=
f Scrutinizer's features, such as the Dashboard status panel, from the Scru=
tinizer tab. This, in addition to custom dashboards, allows you to use Glob=
al Scan as a central reporting area for various infrastructure views, based=
on performance metrics from Uptime Infrastructure Monitor and other tools.=
NetFlow Installation Best Practices=
- Install Scrutinizer (NetFlow) on a different machine than Uptime Infras=
tructure Monitor.
- Once you run the installer, make sure you right click and run as admini=
strator.
Generate a Token to use=
with NetFlow Scrutinizer 16.7 and later
Go to Admin > Security > Authentication Tokens to create your token.
Integrating a =
Scrutinizer Instance with Uptime Infrastructure Monitor
There are two points of Scrutinizer integration within Uptime Infrastruc=
ture Monitor:
- A NetFlow dashboard is added to your Dashboards tab once the Scrutinize=
r integration configuration is added. When the NetFlow dashboard is s=
elected, it displays the Scrutinizer dashboard within Uptime Infrastructure=
Monitor.
If the NetFlow dashboard is not showing, than the integration configuratio=
n done in the above steps did not work or was not saved.
- If a network device is being monitored in both Uptime Infrastructure Mo=
nitor and Scrutinizer, when you selected the network devices in the My Infr=
astructure list and go to Graphing, a NetFlow options will show up in the l=
eft menu in the Network section. Selecting this Netflow option will g=
enerate a Scrutinizer graph that covers a specified time frame. It shows th=
e monitored node=E2=80=99s bi-directional throughput rates through known po=
rts, which are determined based on use by all known applications.
To access Scrutinizer data directly from Uptime Infrastructure Monitor, =
the Scrutinizer instance must first be configured:
- Access the Config tab in the Monitoring Stat=
ion web interface.
- Click Uptime Configuration to display the co=
nfiguration panel.
- Add the following entries to the text box:=20
netflow.enabled=3Dtrue
netflow.hostname=3D[NetFlowHost]
The host name or IP address of your Uptime NetFlow installation.
netflow.port=3D[NetFlowPort]
The HTTP port through which Scrutinizer sends and receives communication.<=
/li>
netflow.username=3D[NetFlowAdmin]
The user name required to log in to Scrutinizer.
netflow.password=3D[NetFlowPassword]
The password required to log in to Scrutinizer.
- Click Update.
For example (can be cut and pasted inthe the Uptime text box and updated=
with the correct values):
netflow.enabled=3Dtrue
netflow.hostname=3D1.2.3.4
netflow.password=3Dadmin
netflow.port=3D80
netflow.username=3Dadmin
SPECIAL NOTICE:
Scrutinizer/Netflow v15.8 has a graphing bug.
There are two ways to fix this issue:
1) Upgrade to Scrutinizer v16.1 available on the download page:
2) If upgrading is not an options the search.html file can be downloaded a=
nd installed for the URL passing to work with Firefox and IE.
User will need to replace the search.html in [HOME]\Scrutinizer\html\=
with the version attached where home is the directory that Scrutinizer was=
installed.
