NetFlow / IPFIX
Use detailed flow relationships for capacity, application and source-destination analysis.
HISTORICAL ANALYTICS
Traffic History and Reports
Compare current conditions with hourly, daily and monthly network behavior.
OPERATIONAL PURPOSE
Move from a network signal to verified context.
Research IP and subnet traffic by direction and time range, then convert findings into consistent operational reports.
Investigation workflow
Begin with the global condition, narrow the scope by direction and subnet, identify the responsible source and destination relationship, and compare the result with historical behavior before taking action.
CORE CAPABILITIESACTIVE
- Hourly, daily and monthly ranges
- IP and subnet filtering
- Inbound/outbound comparison
- Trend and peak analysis
- Shareable PDF reporting
SHARED DATA CONTEXT
Built to work with the complete Flowtrion platform.
This module uses the same inventory and telemetry model as realtime analytics, security controls, historical reporting and BGP operations.
sFlow
Maintain scalable traffic and PPS visibility across high-speed, high-port-count environments.
SPAN / Port Mirroring
Add focused packet-copy visibility for critical services, VLANs and investigation points.
OPERATIONAL WORKFLOW
Use historical traffic evidence for capacity and incident review
Historical analysis turns a short-lived traffic spike into searchable operational evidence. Flowtrion lets teams compare periods, investigate recurring patterns and preserve context for planning and post-incident reporting.
Data inputs and analysis
Stored NetFlow, IPFIX and sFlow measurements provide time-based traffic, packet, endpoint, port, protocol and subnet views. Retention depth and query granularity depend on deployment capacity and the configured data policy.
Teams can compare normal and affected intervals, identify long-term growth and verify whether an event was isolated or recurring. Reports should retain the filters and time zone used so results remain reproducible.
Operational outcomes
- Compare traffic across operational periods.
- Support capacity forecasts with historical evidence.
- Reconstruct the scope and duration of an incident.
- Produce repeatable reports for technical stakeholders.
Deployment considerations
Define hot, warm and archive retention according to investigation needs, storage capacity and privacy requirements. Keep exporter clocks synchronized and document sampling changes that affect comparisons.
Historical views strengthen anomaly tuning, top-talker analysis, SLA review and technical reporting by preserving the context behind a live alert.
