LiveAction Flow

See how LiveAction makes it easy to visualize network trouble spots.

Advanced End-to-End Network Flow Visualizations and Monitoring

LiveAction Flow makes it easy to visualize trouble spots on the network and gain a better understanding of traffic patterns. It enables users to quickly set up and view flow information on their networks and instantly gain an understanding of traffic and QoS behavior.

Starting with a network topology view that provides a unique end-to-end flow visualization of live traffic across the network, LiveAction enables users to quickly drill down to individual devices or interfaces for more detail on flow characteristics such as IP addresses, DSCP values, byte rates and count.

LiveAction Flow supports Cisco NetFlow, Juniper Networks J-Flow, and InMon sFlow.

Topology-based, end-to-end flow visualization.

LiveAction Flow Benefits

  • Intuitive topology views to see your traffic flows mapped from source to destination.
  • Faster troubleshooting and root cause analysis through color-coded flows, point and click filters, visual path tracing and historical playback.Observe the effects of QoS changes on network traffic in real time.
  • Baseline and understand current traffic profiles to prepare for QoS deployments.
  • Use DSCP color-coding to easily spot QoS trust and re-marking issues.
  • Summarize relevant information with advanced filtering and HTML reports.
  • Replay individual captured flow data from any date or time to view activity and problems exactly as they occurred.

Individual flows can be color-coded by port, DSCP, IP address, byte count, byte rate, or custom filter colors.
