Gotcha! Modern traffic visualization BoF

Abstract:

## At first

This BoF aims at sharing ingenuity and know-how on the way of using OSS, So we will exclude introduction of commercial products.

## Overview

In network operation, how to visualize traffic is an eternal challenge.

Recently, a lot of OSS can be used for the data collection and the visualization, but as the number of choices increases, the combination becomes enormous, I wonder if there are a lot of people learn by using the tools.

This BoF aims to introduce examples of traffic visualization by using OSS tools to each other and share the know-how.

fluentd, logstash, kafka, hadoop/hive, presto, re:dash, Elasticsearch,

kibana, grafana (flow-tools, pmacct, fastnetmon)

## Assumed examples of traffic visualization

### Example: Visualization of netflow/sflow by OSS

For flow visualization, EFK structure (ElasticSearch + Fluentd + Kibana) can be used. So it is possible to build up operator friendly infrastructure that is common with other log monitoring.

Example: http://labs.gree.jp/blog/2015/12/15515/

I hope that participants can exchange information on traffic visualization by combining various OSS.

### About case introduction

I would like to invite the case introduction in advance widely and publicly.
For details, please refer the following link.

## Finally

Visualization with a common framework makes it easier to link with other systems and can be used for automating network operation.

I hope to discuss about cooperation with other data sources such as utilization of GeoIP.
