## argus-3.0.6.1 – Audit Record Generation and Utilization System

## Description

    Argus is a fixed-model real time flow monitor designed to track and
    report on the status and performance of all network transactions seen in
    a data network traffic stream. Argus provides a common data format for
    reporting flow metrics such as connectivity, capacity, demand, loss,
    delay, and jitter on a per transaction basis. The record format that
    Argus uses is flexible and extensible, supporting generic flow
    identifiers and metrics, as well as application/protocol specific
    information.

    Argus can be used to analyze and report on the contents of packet
    capture files or it can run as a continuous monitor, examining data from
    a live interface; generating an audit log of all the network activity
    seen in the packet stream. Argus can be deployed to monitor individual
    end-systems, or an entire enterprises network activity. As a continuous
    monitor, Argus provides both push and pull data handling models, to
    allow flexible strategies for collecting network audit data.
