Router Monitoring is an additional feature where Silverline receives flow data directly from your router. If you are interested in turning on this feature, please contact your Silverline Sales representative.
Router Monitoring: Overview
Netflow sends sampled data about "flow" of traffic passing through the customer network to Silverline Collectors. That data is analyzed in realtime, looking for known patterns indicating potential attacks, characterized by multiple signature types. The F5 Silverline SOC team uses this information to proactively mitigate attacks, protecting customer networks.

Monitoring Network Traffic on Local Network
Navigate to Monitor & Analyze > Network Traffic and click on the Customer tab.
The graph defaults to showing Total Traffic. If you want to focus in on a single router's traffic, choose from the drop-down in the upper-right.
