Sharkmon - Packet Monitoring using Tshark
06-17, 11:30–12:30 (US/Eastern), Room A

Using Sharkmon - Wireshark User can now finally start monitoring - using same syntax, same core technology - but for 1000s of pcap files - data over hours, days, months


Packet data exists everywhere in the network - in the data center, on assembly lines, in the service cloud, in cars - or in the home office.
Wireshark can be used to analyze every protocol with its fields - but billions of network packets (100 Gbps = 134,217,728 bytes/sec) cannot be analyzed manually.
For fast and precise trend detection, anomaly recognition, incident alerting and cause-effect understanding, the analysis of all packet data and fields must be automated and in real time.
Sharkmon was developed to capture and analyze every wireshark-"known" IT protocol with all defined protocol fields as needed and to keep it available in dashboards for months / years.
The combination of deep packet analysis on Wireshark core level and monitoring is unique in the industry.
Sharkmon was developed to bridge this gap - between longtime base data and shortime Wireshark data.
The data that the users needs is collected and evaluated at the deep Wireshark level.
The results are indexed, threshold-checked, aggregated, stored in the database for a long time and can be displayed in clear dashboards and reports. This makes it possible to immediately identify problems and trends - and react precisely.

Sharkmon Short list
- Network packet data in Pcap format – from anywhere – also distrubuted sources
- tens of thousands of PCPA files over long periods of time
- Wireshark metrics for automated analysis
- parallel data analysis of data from multiple sources / locations
- Cloud or on-premise installation
- Web application with web dashboards, user sharing enables easy collaboration
- hierarchical indexing of metrics, sessions, protocols and technology enables immediate assignment of critical events to the corresponding technologies and details
- hierarchical dashboards – top: index value by technology -> down – per second line chart / data table per critical metric / user session
- automated reporting and data export
