Promcis NF Monitor is a program that can view and analyze your data netflow.
It includes a Collector that can collect Netflow packets to MSSQL databases. It can also detect failovers in DB functions. It can also detect network problems, scan ports, detect an interface silence. You can configure the program to send you alerts via SMTP, even with dial-up support. The program can monitor the bandwidth peaks and average usage, the inbound and outbound traffic and the traffic used by application protocols.
This program supports the use of Netflow 5 or 9. NetFlow is a network protocol created by Cisco Systems that collects IP traffic information. Besides Cisco, it is supported by other platforms, as IOS and NXOS, and Juniper routers, Enterasys Switches, Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD.
In order to start using the program after installing it, you should click on the "Configuration" tab, and add a receiver to the port that is actually receiving the Netflow traffic. In this same window you can add Alert Channels. This way you will be warned if something bad occurs with the data flow.
This program is free because it is a beta version. After June 1, they plan to launch the 1.0 version, that will not be free.
