Unified Flow Collector Introduction

ElastiFlow Unified Flow Collector​

The Unified Flow Collector receives, decodes, transforms, normalizes, translates and enriches network flow records and telemetry sent from network devices and applications using IPFIX, Netflow, sFlow and AWS VPC Flow Logs. The resulting records can be sent to various platforms and services, including:

  • Elasticsearch
  • Elastic Cloud
  • Elastic Cloud Enterprise
  • OpenSearch
  • AWS OpenSearch Service
  • Apache Kafka
  • Confluent Platform
  • Redpanda
  • Splunk
  • Cribl Stream
note

Support for additional data platforms is planned for future releases. Please reach out to info@elastiflow.com if you have specific requirements that you would like to discuss.

Additionally flow records can be enriched with IP reputation tags provided via an integration with the RiskIQ threat intelligence service. This allows for suspicious network activity and at-risk resources to be easily identified and mitigated.
