Netdata NetFlow: Top Talkers, Traffic Sankeys & Global Flow Maps
A look at Netdata's new NetFlow analyzer: see exactly what's flowing through your network, with no packet capture and no separate appliance.
What's covered:
- Ingesting NetFlow v5/v7/v9, IPFIX, and sFlow v5 on a single UDP listener, with protocols auto-detected
- Flow records enriched at the edge with GeoIP, ASN, NetBox, and BGP context
- The Summary view: an interactive Sankey diagram (Source AS → Protocol → Destination AS) plus a sortable table of your top flows by bytes or packets
- Grouping by up to 10 dimensions and drilling into individual conversations
- Time-Series view for flow throughput over any time window
- Geographic views — Country, State, City, and an interactive 3D Globe — for seeing where your traffic actually goes
- All of it queried live, with instant dashboard updates and no metered billing based on flow volume.
