NetFlow and SNMP Analytics for Splunk App

Introduction​

This Splunk App empowers network and security analysts with real-time network resource management. It leverages NetFlow Optimizer (NFO) - a powerful middleware that processes massive amount of various flow formats (NetFlow, sFlow, IPFIX) and Cloud VPC Flow logs. NFO summarizes this data into meaningful, CIM-compliant Syslog (or JSON) events for Splunk Enterprise or Splunk Cloud. Additionally, it allows forwarding original flow records to cost-effective storage options like rsyslog, syslog-NG, Elastic, or Hadoop.

Enhanced Network Visibility and Security​

The App unlocks detailed network visibility, enabling you to address critical IT use cases:

  • Bandwidth Monitoring: Identify usage patterns and potential bottlenecks.
  • Capacity Planning: Proactively scale your network infrastructure.
  • Congestion Troubleshooting: Quickly pinpoint and resolve network congestion.
  • Cybersecurity: Enhance security with threat intelligence integration.

Pre-built Dashboards for Faster Insights​

The App offers pre-built dashboards for:

  • Firewall Analysis: Gain insights into firewall activity with dashboards for Cisco ASA, Palo Alto Networks, and VMware NSX firewalls.
  • Cloud Monitoring: Monitor mission-critical applications across Microsoft Azure, AWS, Google Cloud Platform, and hybrid cloud environments.
  • SNMP Device Monitoring: View your hardware infrastructure's health and receive alerts for critical events.
