Cisco Advanced Reporting Module
The Scrutinizer Cisco Advanced Reporting Module is a value added performance monitoring and reporting solution
for Cisco Smart Logging and Telemetry, Cisco TrustSec (CTS), Cisco Performance Routing (PfR), and Cisco
Medianet
. Scrutinizer delivers detailed reports on all traffic related to voice and video. IT staff can troubleshoot QoS
issues related to choppy video or delayed voice streams by using Scrutinizer to analyze the appropriate flow.
Scrutinizer can be configured to analyze and alert on excessive amounts of one or a combination of the following
parameters:
• Round Trip Time (Latency)
• Jitter
• Packet Loss
• Bits, Bytes and Packets
• MAC Addresses, IP Addresses
• VLANs
• Domains
• Applications
• Interface
Citrix Advanced Reporting Module
The SonicWALL Scrutinizer Citrix Advanced Reporting Module adds the granular drill-down capabilities for:
• URLs providing reporting insight into web servers and databases being accessed
• Applications providing reporting insight into applications being accelerated via NetScaler
• Latency providing reporting insight into the health and delay as seen by NetScaler
Note: Citrix NetScaler makes applications and cloud-based services run five times better by offloading application
and database servers, accelerating application and service performance, and integrating security.
Cross Check Module
The SonicWALL Scrutinizer Cross Check Module provides integration with third party monitoring and flow analytic
tools such as WhatsUp Gold, Orion, SNMPc, Uptime Devices and Nimsoft. This module’s capabilities include:
• Cross Check creates central inventory of all network devices managed by other analytic tools displaying several
attributes including device name, IP address, and status.
• Flowalyzer Poller continually assesses the status of devices identified by Cross Check and provides updates to
Scrutinizer via IPFIX messages.
• Cross Check references the status of devices as known by Scrutinizer with other third party management
products to monitor if flow data is arriving properly and whether devices are being polled correctly
• Fault index measurements indicate device status across numerous management systems using configurable
severity levels. Syslog notifications can be sent out if predefined threshold levels are met.
• Clickable inventory allows users with direct links to integrated third party applications providing easy access to
devices that are managed via these other applications.
• Inventory groupings can be created allowing for easy monitoring of network segments regardless of whether the
appliances are managed by Scrutinizer or a third party application.
• Cross Check was created directly in response to large MSP and enterprise customer demands for third party
integration.
All these features require the Cross Check Module.
