Scrutinizer Netflow & sFlow Analyzer is an application designed by Plixer International. Scrutinizer is a network monitoring and managing application, designed to use both Cisco's NetFlow and sFlow standards.
It is fairly simple to install the program, however, you must verify, that the ports that are going to be used, are not taken by another application, such as a MySQL server. If the service is installed, the application can be reached via a web browser. Here you start configuring the devices to monitor the ways the reports are going to be made and choose applications you need.
The application comes with a quick start guide that will help you to set up Scrutinizer. It also has Google Earth integration service, so you can look at the physical location of the network devices. You can get reports on each host, service, application and protocol that is in use.
There is a free version of the software available, but the data is flushed every midnight, so it is impossible to have any history data. The license for Scrutinizer starts at $1995.00. At this price some other, more complete applications are available in the market. However, the software does a complete job, and it is hard to find an Analyzer with both NetFlow and sFlow.
