How to analyze the flow data?

Overview​

Motadata ObserveOps (formerly known as 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.

Go to the Menu, Select Flow Explorer . The Flow Dashboard screen is now displayed.
