Caligare Flow Inspector (CFI) software is a tool for processing and evaluating network traffic, using network flows (netflow) export statistics sent by router. It is also a user-friendly application used for network diagnostics. It has the added ability of real time monitoring and data analysis, in which you can find and locate network traffic transmitted over the local host and local networks.



CFI´s user-friendly web interface helps you to view, evaluate, and easily analyze/take out detailed information about network activities. CFI provides you with virtual real-time traffic monitoring, smart flow filtration, aggregation, and statistical evaluation. The CFI software is capable of providing multi-criteria data flow selection using source/destination IP addresses, protocols, ports etc. including heuristic methods for detecting applications using dynamics ports.


CFI software version 3.2 monitors your network and helps you derive information about possible attacks in real time. This helps you find suspicious network activities and gives you adequate time to respond, depending on how serious the danger is. The IT staff can then immediately prepare a response, to repair the situation, and thus reducing the risk of losing the network. All information about network activities is archived in a central database. If downtime is not an option for your organization and you depend on networks, your IT staff needs to anticipate problems before they happen and respond quickly when they do occur. This is nearly impossible without sophisticated software like CFI.


CFI software helps you:

plan and manage your network (future)

network load planning,

to inform you about weaknesses in the network,

locate problems in the network,

find network attacks,

realize which applications are being used and by who,

show network traffic and various statistics,

find bottlenecks in the network lines,

ensure stability and efficiency of the system - CFI operates in a Linux environment (Debian, Red Hat Linux, Suse or Slackware distributions),

diagnose network problems such as security attacks and routing troubles,

eliminate problems with network application,

scan various network protocols,

increase your troubleshooting abilities,

make your network more secure,

observe and monitor the content of your corporate network,

to get all network information through a simple and intuitive format,

analyze your network without hardware probes,

achieve this goal without expensive investments,

reduce company´s backup and restore times and improve service levels,

reduce operating cost and training costs as well as cost of failure,

increase IT staff productivity.
