Dell SonicWALL Scrutinizer 11.5.2 Release Notes
P/N 232-002504-00 Rev A
Release Notes
CrossCheck
The Scrutinizer Advanced Reporting Module also includes CrossCheck which was created in direct response to
large MSP and enterprise customer demands for integration with third party monitoring applications. It provides:
• An inventory of all network devices managed by other analytic tools displaying several attributes including
device name, IP address, and status.
• Flowalyzer Poller, which continually assesses the status of devices identified by Advanced Reporting and
provides updates to Scrutinizer via IPFIX messages.
• References on the status of devices inside third party management solutions, and a single Fault Index
value across multiple integrations. Fault index measurements indicate device status across numerous
management systems using configurable severity levels. Syslog notifications can be sent out if predefined
threshold levels are met.
• Clickable inventory item listings that provide users with direct links to integrated third party applications and
easy access to devices that are managed via these other applications.
• The ability to create inventory groupings for easy monitoring of network segments regardless of whether the
appliances are managed by Scrutinizer or a third party application.
Customizable Traffic and Usage-based Billing and Invoicing
The Scrutinizer Advanced Reporting Module enables customizable invoicing and billing solutions based on actual
network usage, and eases data export to Microsoft Excel in .CSV format.
The Advanced Reporting Module allows service providers to export flow data based on any flow (NetFlow, IPFIX,
sFlow, etc.) field or combination of flow fields including but, not limited to: rate per second, packets, total bits, IP
addresses, ToS (DSCP) or BGP autonomous system (AS) number. This data can then be used to invoice end
customers based on actual network usage rather than WAN connection speed.
The Advanced Reporting Module routinely exports a custom .CSV file with all the required details. For example, it
allows billing based on a flat rate versus a burst rate as well as total amount transferred per month. More traditional
billing is also possible, for example, where the end customer pays based on the 95% percentile technique.
Flowalyzer NetFlow & sFlow Tester
Separate from Scrutinizer and its add-on modules, Dell SonicWALL also offers a free tool called Flowalyzer
NetFlow & sFlow Tester.
Flowalyzer is a free NetFlow and sFlow Tool Kit for testing and configuring hardware or software to send and
receive NetFlow / sFlow data.
Flowalyzer can help IT professionals troubleshoot hardware from vendors like Cisco and Enterasys, as well as
NetFlow collector software, ensuring that whichever flow technology they use is configured properly on both ends.
Flowalyzer NetFlow & sFlow Listener
• Determine which flow sending devices are sending the highest volume
• Listen for NetFlow on multiple ports
• Display packet count, version of NetFlow and UDP port flows are coming in on
• Display the IP address and DNS name
Flowalyzer NetFlow Generator
• Generate NetFlow data to determine if the destination collector is accepting flows
• Send NetFlow v5, NetFlow v9, and IPFIX
• Determine if the destination collector is dropping NetFlow data by comparing the flows sent to what is
received on the other end
