UI overview

The Plixer Scrutinizer web interface enhances NetOps and SecOps workflows by providing access to a comprehensive feature set designed to transform raw flow data into fully contextualized intelligence for modern network teams.

Pages in the web interface are divided into four general categories that correspond to the most essential NetOps and SecOps workflows, with a set of admin views/trays for environment configuration and management.
