Noction Flow Analyzer
Campbell, California, United States
What it is
Noction Flow Analyzer collects, stores, and presents network traffic data for monitoring, reporting, capacity planning, and analysis. It accepts NetFlow, J-Flow, sFlow, IPFIX, NetStream, SNMP, and BGP. Data Explorer filters flow records, while dashboards provide built-in or user-created visualizations. The software can detect abnormal flow patterns and use BGP FlowSpec to drop, throttle, or redirect attack traffic, either automatically or with moderation. Alert rules can send notifications through email, webhooks, Slack, or Telegram. NFA is designed for routers, switches, and firewalls exporting supported formats, with listed testing across Cisco, Juniper, Huawei, Brocade, Alcatel, Vyatta, Mikrotik, Arista, and ZTE. It runs on x86_64 with RHEL 8 or 9, or Ubuntu 22.04 or 24.04 LTS. A dedicated server is recommended, though a suitably specified VM is supported. Level 3 aggregated data is retained for 400 days. The regular license covers up to 10,000 flows per second. Monthly licensing costs $299 a month; yearly licensing costs $2,990 a year. A 30-day trial is available.
