Dear Network and Security Monitoring people :

We just released an exciting new version of Trisul Network Analytics along with a brand new website. You can download the latest builds immediately from our new website. Remember Trisul is totally free for monitoring the most recent 3-day window. No nags, ads, callbacks, or anything. All you need is an Ubuntu or CentOS box and you are ready.

Release highlights

Release 2.1 is a major step up both in terms of usability and features. The most exciting part is the concept of Real Time Stabbers. We are happy to be the first to bring this exciting new innovation of Real Time monitoring (max 5-sec) delay of traffic, flows, and toppers.  Here are more details about this release.

New Features

Name Change

Trisul Network Metering and Forensics is now just Trisul Network Analytics. The new name is much simpler and reflects the true purpose of Trisul -  which is to give you total visibility of multiple data types from your network traffic.

New UI

A brand new user interface that is designed to improve your workflow.  The menus have been enhanced to support multiple opens, keyboard shortcuts and much more. Check out our demo to get a feel for it.

Real Time Stabbers

Have you ever wanted to see traffic conditions right now ? Not 1-minute or 5-minutes ago. Real Time Stabbers give you that capability. Using the latest WebSockets technology you can watch real time traffic conditions (5-sec) right from your browser. You can even watch all flows from a particular IP or an application in real time - much like the display in various torrent software.
