Traverse supports integration with network flow and packet level data collection tools to provide seamless drill-down from system and device level monitoring to troubleshooting and analysis using flow and packet data. This data provides details about the network traffic between hosts, enabling quick identification of impacted services, trouble areas, and problem sources.
Network routers and switches can be configured to export conversation records for traffic flowing through them to a "flow collector." These records consist of the source and destination IP address, as well as the source and destination ports. Based on this information, it is possible to find out the total traffic between two hosts and the type of application.
The flow collector provided with Traverse includes support for Netflow v9.
