New version 5.1With Scheduler and automatic database creation
|
In response to customer demand, Distinct Network Monitor version 5.1 now includes a scheduler that allows you to run a scheduled collection of network traffic statistics or packet captures. With the new scheduling feature, you no longer have to remember to start and stop Distinct Network Monitor when you are trying to build a constant record of traffic during specific time periods. Just set the parameters you wish, like a special filter and schedule the monitor to start and stop at any given time. For example, you could run a daily capture from 6:00 am to 6:00 pm or you could start a capture at any time of night without needing to be present. If you are collecting only the network statistics, then a new database file will even be automatically opened when no more data can be written to the first one. With Network Monitor automatically doing all the capturing for you, all that is left is for you to run the reports needed by management to monitor network activity and these too can be scheduled. The combination of Distinct Network Monitor and its ReportBuilder allows automated network traffic monitoring and reporting letting you concentrate on other areas of network management.

NEW VERSIONDistinct Network Monitor now parsing VoIP packets
|
Distinct Corporation has released version 4.1 of Distinct Network Monitor.
This new release contains several major and minor enhancements.
Some of these are:
Filters. Filters can now be built using built-in filter templates. This greatly simplifies the creation of most filters as it removes the requirement to handle logical expressions.
Statistics. Statistics now also displays the outside IP addresses detected on the network segment and shows the IP pairs of which IP is talking to which local IP.
Parsers. Version 4.1 now parses the H323, SIP and SDP VoIP protocols.
Version 4.1 also includes several minor enhancements such as the ability to choose which statistics windows to display and to turn DNS lookup off, if this is slowing down your system. The IP Traffic, Network Protocols and All traffic charts are all showing additional data items.
In the advanced Filters dialog box, filter rules can now be moved up/down in the filter rule listing. A number of predefined fields have been added to the IP, UDP, TCP, BGP, RIP, LPR, BOOTP, DHCP, TFTP and PPPLCP protocol filters removing the necessity to filter by offset for these fields.
