B2: Monitoring Network traffic for each PC (or connection) with NetFlow
B2: Monitoring Network traffic for each PC (or connection) with NetFlow
· Configure NetFlow protocol on the router to send NetFlow packets to the computer running PRTG (see corresponding knowledge base article)
· (Purchase and) install Network Connector License (also works with trial license)
· Configure a Network collector in PRTG
· Create one new NetFlow sensor for each PC to be monitored and apply a filter based on the IP of each PC you want to monitor
· Or: If you do not need long term accounting data for each PC and only want to know the current traffic by IP, you can create just one NetFlow sensor and enable the Toplist feature.
· Note: If you have several switches/routers you may not see all traffic if you only monitor one device
