December 2016 Update

A10 Integration with Anomaly Detection

feature-a10-integration2.png
On top of the already offered RTBH mitigation method, our Anomaly Detection system now supports integration with A10’s Thunder TPS Series mitigation hardware.

What this means is that if you already own or plan on acquiring such appliances, you can leverage all of Kentik Detect’s powerful Anomaly Detection system and couple it with A10 for mitigation.

To configure the Kentik end of an A10 TPS mitigation platform for use within policies, go to the Mitigation menu under the Alerts and click on the +Create Mitigation Platform, as shown in the screenshots below:

Matrix visualizations are described at length in this Knowledge Base article.

A “Matrix view” is now available in the Data Explorer, find it amongst the already existing Display Types section of the query side panel.

Here are a few examples of uses cases for Matrix Views:

  • Transit providers might want to look at Top 10 Source ASNs vs Destination ASNs matrix of traffic. This might be a good way of trying to identify strategic content or eyeball prospects to engage in the future.
  • Building a matrix of cross-PoP traffic for capacity planning purposes.
  • Looking at PPS between different farms of servers or even between top talkers in a Datacenter setup…
