Architecture

To enable network flow analysis integration in Traverse, the following components need to be configured:

• Traverse DGE or DGE extension
• Traverse Flow Analysis Engine (flowqueryd)
• NetFlow collector (3rd party or Traverse included collector)
• Router or switch to export flow records

The network flow analysis integration in Traverse is flexible and can be easily extended to integrate with many different network flow data collectors by customizing the flowquery daemon to query flow data from different products. Please contact Kaseya Support to find out if your existing flow collector is supported. There is no charge for the flow collector included in Traverse, but you need to license the Traverse flow analysis and charting component.

The DGE or DGE extension queries the network flow data from the flowqueryd daemon, which fetches the data from the flow collector and returns it to the DGE. This data is then processed and displayed in Traverse.
