Scrutinizer System Requirements

Please keep in mind that the more NetFlow you push to Scrutinizer, the more resources the software will consume. Below are the minimum requirements.

Purchase high end hardware, if you anticipate high NetFlow volume. Scrutinizer can handle hundreds of packets per second if it is running on a robust computer.

A single Scrutinizer collector can handle flows from hundreds of routers and switches and represent several hundred interfaces.

"Plixer International’s Scrutinizer network monitoring tool has done wonders for our troubleshooting procedures. Having an immediate real-time picture of our network has eliminated a vast majority of the guesswork required to solve our networking issues. Scrutinizer’s ease of use and administration coupled with its complex and sweeping reporting capabilities make it an indispensable component aiding us in our future growth initiatives. Kudos also to Plixer’s support team whose technical knowledge is only surpassed by their unflagging desire to genuinely and substantively assist at a moment’s notice. We recommend Scrutinizer and Plixer International support personnel without hesitation."
