New Trisul Network Analytics 6.5 released with new charts and APIs

We just released new packages of Trisul which include many features which make many Network Security Monitoring and Traffic Analytics workflows even easier. Highlights of this release are improved charting of timeseries metrics, ability to integrate simultaneously with multiple instances of IDS systems, improved CLI and diagnostic tools, and 3 new Trisul APPs.

New faster charts help with long term analysis

Retrospective analysis in Trisul usually starts with a long term time series chart of a particular type of metric. Then narrowing down a timespan and then applying a number of tools to that time interval. This release introduces a more flexible time selector that is more interactive and faster to use.

Turn any module into a long term chart

Trisul dashboards consists of a number of modules which can contain timeseries charts. In prior releases of Trisul , if you wanted to zoom out on a particular chart your options were limited. This release features a new mechanism which allows you to click on a chart and expand out to any time window.
