Flow Monitoring: Visualize and troubleshoot media flows across the IP network
The Flow Monitoring app provides real‑time visibility into how media flows traverse your IP network. It compares the as‑engineered design of each flow with the as‑is live path, making it easy for teams to spot routing deviations, misconfigurations, or unexpected network behavior.
As part of the DataMiner xOps platform, Flow Monitoring supports broadcast, service provider, satellite, smart ecosystem, and defense operations, helping teams maintain network reliability and quickly diagnose issues before they impact critical services.
Key benefits:
-
As‑engineered vs As‑Is visibility
Compare the intended (engineered) flow path with the actual live path to quickly identify deviations, routing issues, or unexpected behavior.
-
Faster troubleshooting
Spot routing errors, misconfigurations, or anomalies through clear path visualizations, enabling faster diagnosis and corrective action.
-
Flexible flow views
Analyze flows by source, destination, or multicast address for targeted investigation and deeper operational insight.
Who uses Flow Monitoring?
Flow Monitoring is essential for teams managing mission‑critical IP network traffic, including:
- IP network engineers
- Media engineers
- NOC operators
- Broadcast operations teams
These teams rely on Flow Monitoring to validate network behavior, quickly respond to issues, and maintain predictable delivery of media flows.
Powered by the DataMiner xOps platform
Flow Monitoring integrates seamlessly with Flow Engineering, IP Network Explorer, Control Surface, and monitoring workflows. By correlating engineered paths, live data, and operational context, it enables fully coordinated, data‑driven network operations across your organization.
