Streamline Your Flow Collection with the New Universal Agent Flow Proxy
Managing disparate agent binaries across your network shouldn't be a manual chore that slows down or complicates your visibility. We know that deploying agents in remote sites or restricted environments often feels like a balancing act between security requirements and operational simplicity.
What’s New?
We’re thrilled to announce that the power of KProxy is now natively integrated into the Kentik Universal Agent! This update brings the trusted secure traffic forwarding agent you rely on directly into our Universal Agent. Instead of managing standalone KProxy installations via command line, you can now deploy, manage, and scale your flow collection as a simple "capability" within the Universal Agent. This integration allows the agent to receive, process, and forward NetFlow, sFlow, and IPFIX telemetry to the Kentik platform with more control and less friction than ever before.
Why It Matters
This evolution of the Flow Proxy capability isn't just about consolidation; it's about making your life easier and your network more secure.
- Centralized UI Configuration: Say goodbye to manual configuration files. You can now deploy and tune your Flow Proxy settings like listening ports directly from the Kentik Portal.
- FIPS Support for Regulated Environments: For our customers in highly regulated industries, this update introduces FIPS support, ensuring your traffic forwarding meets the stringent security standards required for compliant implementations.
- Simplified Enrichment: Easily associate all flow data with specific Kentik Sites during setup, ensuring your data is organized and actionable the moment it hits the platform.
