Features

FlowTraq uses network flow records to provide integrated monitoring and forensic analysis capabilities. It is a powerful and customizable software application that significantly increases insight into network behavior, making it east to spot the risks before they become problems, and to investigate an incident if one does occur.

FlowTraq’s features are designed to complement and improve your existing network operations.


Full Fidelity Flows: FlowTraq doesn’t aggregate data or throw it away. Its high-efficiency storage structure allows it to keep all the data it collects. You won’t know today what information you’ll need to secure your network tomorrow. We store it all and let you select which views are relevant.

Alerting: Alert on virtually any traffic condition: blacklisted IP addresses, high bandwidth usage, use of undesired applications, portscans, spam relays within your network, or any other condition you consider relevant for your network. If it sends or receives packets, you can alert on it.

Reporting: Schedule reports to run at regular intervals to collect and report frequently used information. Useful for accurately billing your customers each month for bandwidth used, tracking the national demographics of your website’s visitors, or any workspace you create.

IPv6: If your exporters support NetFlow v9 or sFlow®, ProQueSys FlowTraq™ is fully IPv6 compliant. It can be deployed in full IPv6 environments, and works seamlessly in mixed IPv4/IPv6 networks.

NetFlow, sFlow®, CFlow, JFlow: If it exports flows, we support it. There are many flow formats on the market today, and your format will depend mostly on your networking hardware. We strive to be compatible with all of them, so we fit your environment hassle-free.

User customizable workspaces: Different networks have different challenges, and different users have different preferences. Our enterprise setup with customizable dashboards allow hundreds of users to benefit maximally from the flow data, without getting in each other’s way.

Microsecond precision: If your exporter supports it, we do too. With hundreds of thousands of switched packets per second, microsecond precision is sometimes the only differentiator between cause and effect. Figure out exactly what happened first, and what followed.
