Field section

Description

 

 

GigaStor Analysis Filter

Choose whether to Analyze all traffic in the analysis period, Select

 

 

 

an Observer filter to apply before decoding, or Create an analysis

 

 

 

filter using checked GigaStor entries (in other words, based on the

 

 

 

constraints you have selected using the GigaStor control panel).

 

 

 

Subsequent check boxes let you choose which criteria from the

 

 

 

Control Panel selection to include in the analysis. The Include

 

 

 

expert information in analysis filter option should be checked if

 

 

 

you plan on using Observer’s Expert Analysis on the packet buffer;

 

 

 

otherwise leave it unchecked.

Analysis Time Range

Set the start and end time for analysis. The fields are pre-filled

 

 

 

based on the time slider selections made from the GigaStor

 

 

 

Control Panel.

 

 

Analysis Type

Choose between Expert analysis and decode, Decode without

 

 

 

expert analysis, or Forensic analysis only. Load time is significantly

 

 

 

reduced (especially with large files) by bypassing analysis

 

 

 

processing for features you are not interested in.

Forensic Analysis

Select a Forensic Analysis profile. See “Starting Forensic Analysis

 

 

 

using Snort rules” on page 92 for details on using this Snort-

 

 

 

compatible feature.

114ff specifications

Network Instruments 114ff is a sophisticated platform designed to enhance network visibility and performance management. This state-of-the-art device is aimed at network professionals who require a deep insight into their network’s behavior and performance metrics. One of its main features is its ability to provide real-time monitoring and analytics, which is crucial for quick decision-making in IT environments.

With a robust set of technologies embedded in its architecture, Network Instruments 114ff leverages advanced packet capture and analysis capabilities. It employs deep packet inspection (DPI) technology to evaluate data packets as they traverse the network. This functionality allows administrators to dissect various layers of network traffic, enabling them to identify anomalies and troubleshoot issues effectively. The 114ff can analyze both encrypted and unencrypted traffic, an asset as organizations increasingly adopt encryption protocols.

Another prominent feature of the Network Instruments 114ff is its customizable dashboard, which can be tailored to present the most relevant metrics at a glance. Users can visualize their network performance through a variety of graphs, charts, and alerts signaling potential performance degradation. This feature aids network managers in assessing key performance indicators (KPIs) and helps ensure that service level agreements (SLAs) are met.

The device is equipped with extensive reporting capabilities, allowing users to generate historical reports for analysis and compliance purposes. This function is essential for businesses that must comply with regulatory standards, as it enables them to maintain records of network performance and security incidents.

Furthermore, Network Instruments 114ff supports a variety of network protocols, ensuring compatibility with existing infrastructure. Its scalable architecture means organizations can adapt the device to cater to growing network demands without the need for significant overhauls. The integration capability with other Network Monitoring Systems (NMS) positions it as a flexible solution suited for diverse environments.

In summary, Network Instruments 114ff stands out as an essential tool for IT professionals looking to optimize network performance. With features such as real-time monitoring, deep packet inspection, customizable dashboards, and robust reporting capabilities, it delivers a comprehensive solution to manage and enhance network infrastructures effectively.
