Distributed CollectorsΒΆ
Plixer Scrutinizer can be set up to use multiple appliances/servers for flow collection and one central server for reporting.
Benefits of a distributed environment:
- Drastically increases ingestion capabilities in terms of both flow volume per second (up to several million) and number of Exporters (up to tens of thousands), regardless of physical location
- Allows Exporters, interfaces, flows, and Alarms across all Collectors to be managed from the main reporting server
Ports used:
The following network ports are used in communications between appliances/servers in a distributed environment:
| Collector(s) -> Reporter (UDP) | Collector(s) <-> Reporter (TCP) |
|---|---|
| 514 | 22
80 (or 443)
6432 and 5432
