NetMon Web Management Interface

This section describes the features and functions of the Web Management interface for NetMon. You can use this interface to analyze network packet captures, check traffic statistics, view data logs, and change configuration options for the NetMon appliance.
You can launch the Web Management interface in Internet Explorer 11 or the most recent versions of Chrome and Firefox. (For login instructions and first-time setup, see Get Started with NetMon.) NetMon uses Kibana to present the data it collects. Kibana is an open-source analytics and visualization platform designed to work with Elasticsearch.
When you first log in to NetMon, the Analyze Dashboard appears. By default, this dashboard shows a histogram and pie chart of the top 10 applications on your network based on total bandwidth for the last 15 minutes, and a table showing the 500 most recent network flows.

Filter Configuration Pages

A Filter box appears at the top of many NetMon configuration pages. You can type in this box to quickly filter the number of configuration parameters that are displayed. As you start to type in the filter box, configuration parameters that do not match the filter are hidden. This functionality is useful for finding a specific parameter or pages that contain a large number of configuration options.

NetMon and Kibana

Kibana is an open-source analytics and visualization platform designed to work with Elasticsearch. NetMon uses Kibana to let you search, view, and interact with data stored in Elasticsearch indices. You can easily perform advanced data analysis and visualize your data in a variety of charts, tables, and maps.

With Kibana, NetMon makes it easy to understand large volumes of data. Its simple, browser-based interface enables you to quickly create dynamic dashboards that display changes to Elasticsearch queries in real time.

Data Discovery and Visualization

On NetMon's Discover page, you can submit search queries, filter the results, and examine the data in the returned documents. For example, you can get all sessions over SMTP that were sent to port 25 with the following query: Application:smtp and Destport:25.

The table is populated with the most recent records at the top. By default, the Discover page shows the first 500 entries that match the search criteria. Scrolling to the bottom of the page loads more results. You can change the time filter, interact with the histogram to drill down into the data, and view the details of particular documents. For more information about exploring your data from the Discover page, see Discover.

You can construct visualizations of your search results from the Visualize page. Each visualization is associated with a search. One of the available visualizations is Top 10 Destination Ports. The Y-axis shows counts by destination port. The X-axis shows the time range. This visualization helps you see port usage patterns over a particular time period, perhaps highlighting network bots or crawler activity during off hours.

You can save visualizations and combine them into dashboards to make it easy to correlate related information. For example, the Destination Port Dashboard helps you determine which destination ports you may want to examine in detail. This dashboard contains the following visualizations:

  • Top 10 Dest Ports (pie)

  • Top 10 Dest Ports (line)

  • Top 10 Dest Ports Data

  • Top 10 Dest Ports by Bandwidth (histogram)

  • Ports Table

For more information about creating and sharing visualizations and dashboards, see the Visualize and Dashboard topics.

Discover

You can use the Discover page to build tables as you submit search queries, filter the search results, and view document data. You can also see the number of documents that match any search query and get field value statistics. The distribution of documents over time appears in a histogram at the top of the page.

To access NetMon's Discover page, click the Discover icon on the Kibana sidebar.

Use the Discover page to explore data from every session analyzed by NetMon.

Set the Time Filter

The Time Filter restricts the search results to a specific time period. By default, the time filter is set to the last 15 minutes. You can use the Time Picker to change the time filter or select a specific time interval or time range in the histogram at the top of the page.

To configure custom start and end dates in the Time Filter, click the Time Filter. You will see start and end periods separated by an arrow.

Use the following instructions to set a time filter with the Time Picker.

Set a Quick Filter

  1. Click the Time Filter icon in the toolbar.

  2. Configure the time interval under the Quick select header and click Apply, or click one of the shortcut links under the Commonly used or Recently used date ranges headers to use a previously configured time interval.

Set a Time Filter from the Histogram

  • Click the bar that represents the time interval you want to zoom in on, and then click Apply.

  • Click and drag to view a specific timespan. You must start the selection with the cursor over the background of the chart—the cursor changes to a plus sign when you hover over a valid start point.

You can use the browser's Back button to undo your changes.

The histogram lists the time range you are currently exploring, as well as the intervals that the range is currently using. To change the intervals, click the link and select an interval from the drop-down. The default behaviour automatically sets an interval based on the time range.

Search Your Data

You can search by submitting a query from the Discover page. You can enter simple query strings, use the Lucene query syntax, or use the full JSON-based Elasticsearch Query DSL.

When you submit a search, the histogram, Documents table, and Fields list are updated to reflect the search results. The total number of hits (matching documents) is shown in the upper-left corner of the page. The Documents table shows the first 500 hits. By default, the hits are listed in reverse chronological order, with the newest documents shown first.

You can reverse the sort order by clicking on the Time column header. You can also sort the table using the values in any indexed field.

To search your data:

  1. Enter a query string in the Search field:

    • To perform a free text search, simply enter a text string. This searches all metadata that has been
      analyzed by NetMon.

    • To search for a value in a metadata field, prefix the value with the field name. For example, you could
      enter Application:smtp to limit the results to SMTP traffic.

    • To search for a range of values, you can use the bracketed range syntax, [START_VALUE TO END_VALUE]. For example, to find sessions with application IDs of 7xx, you could enter ApplicationID:[700 TO 799].

    • To specify more complex search criteria, you can use the Boolean operators AND, OR, and NOT. For
      example, to find email messages containing an attachment, you could enter ApplicationTags:email AND Attach:true.

These examples use the Lucene query syntax. You can also submit queries using the Kibana Query  Language (KQL). For examples, see query string syntax in the Elasticsearch Reference.

  1. To submit your search query, press Enter.

Start a New Search
To clear the current search and start a new search, click New on the Discover toolbar.

To view field data statistics, click the name of a field in the Fields list. The field can be anywhere in the Fields list:
Selected Fields or Available Fields.

Visualize

You can use the Visualize page to design data visualizations. You can save these visualizations, use them individually, or combine visualizations into a dashboard.

A visualization can be based on one of the following data source types:

  • A new interactive search

  • A saved search

  • An existing saved visualization

Visualizations are based on the aggregation feature introduced in Elasticsearch 1.x.

Create a New Visualization

  1. Click the Visualize icon on the Kibana sidebar.

  2. To start the New Visualization wizard, click Create new visualization. The wizard guides you through the following steps:

Step 1: Choose the Visualization Type
Choose a visualization type when you start the New Visualization wizard. You can choose from the following visualizations:

  • Area

  • Controls

  • Coordinate Map

  • Data Table

  • Gauge

  • Goal

  • Heat Map

  • Horizontal Bar

  • Line

  • Markdown

  • Metric

  • Network

  • Pie

  • Region Map

  • Tag Cloud

  • Timeline

  • Vega

  • Vertical Bar

  • Visual Builder

For more information about these Kibana visualizations, please see https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.2/ visualize.html.

You can also load a saved visualization that you created earlier. The saved visualization selector includes a text field to filter by visualization name and a link to the Object Editor, accessible through the Settings page, to manage your saved visualizations.

If your new visualization is a Markdown widget, selecting that type takes you to a text entry field where you enter the text to display in the widget. For all other types of visualization, selecting the type takes you to data source selection.

Step 2: Choose a Data Source
You can choose a new or saved search to serve as the data source for your visualization. When you create a visualization from a saved search and save the visualization, the search is tied to the visualization. When you make changes to the search that is linked to the visualization, the visualization updates automatically.

Step 3: The Visualization Editor
The visualization editor enables you to configure and edit visualizations. The visualization editor has the following main elements:

Automatically Refresh the Page

You can configure a refresh interval to automatically refresh the page with the latest index data. This periodically resubmits the search query.

When a refresh interval is set, it appears in the time filter.

To set the refresh interval:

  1. Click the Time Filter icon.

  2. Under the Quick select header, set a refresh interval.

  3. Click Apply.

To automatically refresh the data:

  1. Under the Refresh every header, select an auto-refresh interval.

  2. Click Start.
    When auto-refresh is enabled, the time filter icon changes to a clock icon.

  3. To stop auto-refresh, click Stop.

Toolbar
The toolbar has a search field for interactive data searches, as well as controls to manage saving and loading visualizations. You can edit the search in the search bar.
The toolbar above the search bar has buttons for saving, sharing, inspecting, and refreshing the current visualization.

Aggregation Builder
Use the aggregation builder on the left of the page to configure the metric and bucket aggregations used in your visualization. Buckets are analogous to SQL GROUP BY statements. For more information on aggregations, see the main Elasticsearch aggregations reference.
Bar, line, or area chart visualizations use metrics for the Y-axis and buckets for the X-axis, segment bar colors, and row/ column splits. For pie charts, use the metric for the slice size and the bucket for the number of slices.
Choose the metric aggregation for your visualization’s Y-axis, such as count, average, sum, min, max, or cardinality (unique count). Use bucket aggregations for the visualization’s X-axis, color slices, and row/column splits. Common bucket aggregations include date histogram, range, terms, filters, and significant terms.

You can set the order in which buckets execute. In Elasticsearch, the first aggregation determines the data set for any subsequent aggregations. The following example involves a date bar chart of Web page hits for the top five file extensions.

To use the same extension across all hits, set this order:

  1. Color: Terms aggregation of extensions

  2. X-Axis: Date bar chart of @timestamp

Elasticsearch collects the records for the top five extensions and then creates a date bar chart for each extension.

To chart the top five extensions for each hour, use the following order:

  1. X-Axis: Date bar chart of @timestamp (with one-hour interval)

  2. Color: Terms aggregation of extensions

For these requests, Elasticsearch creates a date bar chart from all the records and then groups the top five extensions inside each bucket, which in this example is a one-hour interval.

Each subsequent bucket slices the data from the previous bucket.

To render the visualization on the preview canvas, click the green Apply Changes button at the top right of the Aggregation Builder.

You can learn more about aggregation and how altering the order of aggregations affects your visualizations here.
