By sitting at the edge of the network the EdgeXOS
platform is in a perfect position to view and report on how
the network is being used. The built-in LAN/WAN reporting capabilities
provide insightful information for future bandwidth planning
and for determining how to create future shaping policies.
Components
The following is a list of EdgeXOS reporting
components.
Real-Time Link Usage Reporting
Get a real-time view of traffic and see exactly when applications
are using up bandwidth resources. This feature provides up to
the second updates as to status and utilization of each interface.
XFlowTM Top Usage Reporting
Through continuous monitoring this reporting capability can
quickly show the network administrator what is going on within
their network and provide 3D graphical reports displaying top
users and top applications. Additionally administrators can
view top applications on a per user basis and see what the overview
traffic patterns are for future policy changes.
XFlowTM Device Monitoring / Alerting
Monitor devices individually and gather statistics for daily,
weekly and monthly usage. Block devices when usage reaches certain
predefined limits. Provide individual device reporting to end-users
so that they can see how much bandwidth they have used with
automated alerts when users reach certain thresholds.
XFlowTM Streaming
This feature enables the EdgeXOS appliance to capture and stream
packet data to an external collection server for further analysis
and storage. The stream is delivered via the open source sFlow
standard.
