Scrutinizer is a NetFlow analyzer and incident response system that takes advantage of communications standards, i.e. NetFlow and IPFIX for Cisco IOS networking devices ( as well as other compatible switches and routers) .It does this to retrieve and store network traffic information for users, systems, and applications. It Scrutinizer allows administrators to monitor, graph, and report on network usage patterns, and locate the heaviest traffic creators.
To help you establish Uptime Infrastructure Monitor as the core component for tracking the performance and reliability of your network, you can integrate a Scrutinizer instance with Uptime Infrastructure Monitor. Once integrated, you can perform the following tasks in Uptime Infrastructure Monitor:
- Add See network devices that are exporting NetFlow data to Scrutinizer.
- Generate Scrutinizer graphs from NetFlow-exporting elements. You can use the network device's Graphing page in Uptime Infrastructure Monitor to directly call a Scrutinizer instance. A graph that covers a specified time frame is generated, showing the monitored element's bi-directional throughput rates through known ports, which are determined based on use by all known applications.
- Generate Scrutinizer graphs from other Elements. Similar to network devices, you can use other Elements' Graphing pages to generate graphs in Scrutinizer. These graphs will show network traffic 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.
- Use an embedded Scrutinizer interface in Uptime Infrastructure Monitor's Global Scan panel. You , you can access all of Scrutinizer's features, such as the MyView Dashboard status panel, from the Scrutinizer tab. This, in addition to custom dashboards, allows you to use Global Scan as a central reporting area for various infrastructure views, based on performance metrics from Uptime Infrastructure Monitor and other tools.
