pt360 NetFlow Listener by PacketTrap captures flow data from network traffic and presents it in tables and charts to track network usage. This software is available for free.
Apart from offering real-time data, NetFlow Listener provides historical trends for WAN and LAN usage, which is necessary when the user is considering purchasing additional bandwidth. This feature enables the user to monitor Quality of Service (QoS) metrics, which helps them ensure that Service Level Agreements (SLAs) are being met.
NetFlow Listener is part of the pt360 Tool Suite Professional Edition, which includes network reporting, diagnostics, and monitoring from a single, easy to navigate interface. The Suite features a centralized dashboard that offers access to network discovery, network inventory, Cisco Configurator, Switch Port Mapper, TFTP server, SNMP, WMI, Port Scan, DNS Audit, Trace Route, Syslog Server, Ping, and supports open-source tools (i.e. Nagios, MRTG, Cacti), SaaS (Salesforce.com), and virtual servers.
Another feature that sets pt360 Tool Suite apart is its dataflow capabilities, which pass information automatically between tools to pinpoint problems that network engineers are facing. By streamlining the dataflow, network engineers can easily identify and solve problems in real-time, rather than using dissimilar point tools.
Overall, NetFlow Listener, along with the pt360 Tool Suite, offers an easy-to-use solution that provides valuable information to IT professionals while monitoring network performance.
