About:
Argus Clients are part of the Audit Record Generation and Utilization System (Argus), a network monitoring tool that generates detailed flow records from network traffic. These client utilities provide the tools needed to collect, filter, and analyze the flow data generated by Argus sensors, enabling comprehensive network visibility and security auditing.

  • Supports multiple output formats (ASCII, CSV, JSON, NetFlow)
  • Includes clients for data collection, aggregation, and analysis
  • Real-time monitoring and historical data analysis capabilities
Use Cases:
