We have been very busy tinkering on Trisul these past few weeks. The end result is a much cleaner looking and better performing Trisul.
The new release (1.2.704) is now available for both Ubuntu 10.04 and Centos 5.3+ 64-bit platforms. The full list of enhancements and new features are listed here.
Lets check out the most significant enhancement.
The new user interface
Here is what the new user interface looks like.
The key advantages of the new user interface are :
- A more natural left menu
- The menu remembers expanded and selected state of items
- The menu can be collapsed or expanded at any time by pressing the edge of the menu or Ctrl+M
- Use of a color scheme and better use of CSS padding and elimination of unnecessary gradients
- You can switch back to the plain black and white user interface via Customize -> UI -> Themes
Netflow Routers and Interfaces view
Did you know that Trisul can accept Netflow ? Yes. It can accept Netflow v5 and v9 records and also all versions of SFlow. It can handle tens of thousands of flows per second thanks to the high performance native server. For those using Netflow, we have a new Tool called “Routers and Interfaces”. This allows you to drilldown into interface level activity – while still maintaining an overall network level view.
You can do both :
- A network level view of top hosts, applications, router interfaces,and overall top flows
- An interface specific view of top hosts, applications, and flows
