LiveAction Flow: Visualize Cisco NetFlow With Network Topology

Real-time flow visualizations and analysis for NetFlow, J-Flow, and sFlow

LiveAction Flow is the only product that provides a live network topology view with end-to-end NetFlow, sFlow, and J-Flow visualizations of live traffic across the network. Users can quickly drill down to individual devices or interfaces for more detail on flow characteristics such as IP addresses, DSCP values, byte rates and count. This makes it easy to visualize trouble spots on the network and gain a better understanding of traffic patterns.

Topology Level Flow View 

LiveAction generates amazingly clear and detailed topology views of your network allowing you to literally “see” device connections, routes, flows, interface bandwidth, and more—all in real time. The interactive display lets you pan, zoom, and drag individual network elements across the screen for an even better view.

Device Level View

Dive deep into the setup and activity within your switch or router. See routes and routing tables as well as flows entering, traversing, and exiting the device. View the whole picture or use filters to display specific items.

Interface Level View

Need even more detail? Click down to the interface view and observe actual traffic performance in real time with the most detailed and visually-intuitive monitoring tool ever developed for Cisco Devices. With LiveAction you can literally see and trace your traffic flows from end-to-end across the network in both real-time and using playback of captured data. Drill down to device level and interface level for even more information on flows, routes, QoS Policies, and IP SLA tests and results.
