About:
Argus is an open-source network monitoring tool that provides detailed, real-time traffic measurement and performance data. It generates comprehensive audit records of network activity, enabling administrators to analyze bandwidth usage, detect anomalies, and troubleshoot connectivity issues effectively.
Key Features:
  • Real-time network traffic monitoring and analysis
  • Generates detailed audit records for all network protocols
  • Highly scalable for monitoring large network infrastructures
  • Supports flexible data export and integration with other tools
Use Cases:
  • Monitoring network bandwidth usage and identifying top talkers
  • Security analysis and intrusion detection through traffic pattern analysis
  • Troubleshooting network performance issues and latency problems
Alternatives:
  • ntopng – Provides a web-based GUI for traffic analysis, while Argus is primarily command-line and flow-data focused
  • NetFlow/sFlow analyzers – Uses vendor-specific flow protocols, whereas Argus uses its own RA (Record Architecture) format for more granular data
