## Host-Monitor

The Host monitor provides a board for comprehensive investigation into problems associated with individual hosts in the enterprise network. Users can start investigation with a hostname or a host IP address.

The Monitor provides full visibility into host traffic analysis acting as a client on left hand side of the charts and host acting like a server on right hand side of the charts.

Use this monitor to:

- understand applications running on the host, traffic volumes, application latencies, errors.
- track top conversations and traffic KPIs per conversation.
- detect cyber threats on the host.
- investigate deep into other application monitors with context and drill down to investigate host traffic sets in detail.
