Traffic Analyzer

Traffic Analyzer provides a detailed and consolidated view of the traffic in your network. This helps you to understand the communication between different assets in your environment. For example, communication of a certain type of unmanaged asset from an unsecured network to a critical resource. 

The traffic data displayed in the Traffic Analyzer tab is sourced from the Qualys Network Passive Sensor.

Traffic Analyzer provides a comprehensive date-wise summary of traffic volumes for client-to-server (CTS) and server-to-client (STC) communications, available in both tabular and graphical formats. It also visualizes traffic distribution by family and volume, providing full visibility into traffic flows for both managed and unmanaged assets.

To access this feature in Global IT Asset Inventory, ensure that your subscription includes the Traffic Analyzer add-on.

For each flow, one can pivot to any of the two assets participating in the traffic flow to check the details such as asset summary, network information, system information, list of open ports and traffic summary of an asset.

For Traffic Details, navigate to Network > Traffic Analyzer and then click View Traffic Details under Quick Actions for the asset. You can filter the traffic based on various attributes.
