Intuitive Dashboards and Widgets

To keep a close eye on your network traffic, use NFA’s default widgets and dashboards or configure personalized ones with a vast selection of filters and metrics. Alternatively, craft your own queries and drill down deep by using Noction Flow Analyzer Data Navigator to explore the current and historical flow data.

Vigilant Alerting System

Know about your network traffic issues before they affect your business. Setup a multitude of utilization, duration and frequency threshold-based alerts or adjust the existing ones for your needs. Have them delivered via individual notification channels such as email or a specific Slack channel.

Get notified when the UDP or certain Application traffic spikes occur, when no flows are received for more than a preset time interval, when the bandwidth thresholds are exceeded or any other possible scenario.

System Requirements

Hardware Requirements:

  • x86_64 architecture
  • Minimum 4x core CPU (8x core CPU recommended)
  • Minimum 32GB of RAM (64GB RAM recommended; 128GB RAM – optimal)
  • Minimum 250GB SSD storage (500GB SSD storage recommended)

Software Requirements:

  • CentOS 7 x86_64 Minimal or CentOS 8 x86_64 Minimal – Clean Install
Note: NFA will install and operate below the recommended system requirements. However, as the database size grows and if complex queries are used, this can result in slow performance.

The minimum system requirements assume default configuration. Significantly increasing the flow collection rate might cause additional load on a server, thus requiring extra memory or a larger CPU.
