How to analyze the flow data?

Overview​

Motadata AIOps provides a powerful tool called Flow Explorer for analyzing network flows. It efficiently processes large amounts of flow data and represents it visually using a Sankey diagram.

To ensure optimal network performance and prevent issues caused by bandwidth hogs and high traffic, it's crucial to proactively identify and resolve them before they cause problems.
