What is Incollector?
Incollector is an open-source network flow analytics and traffic analytics software designed for monitoring network usage, performance, and security. It collects data using network flow protocols like Netflow, IPFIX, and sFlow to provide real-time and historical visibility into all traffic traversing the network.
