Which SonicWall feature would you use for tracking detailed traffic flow?

The feature that is best suited for tracking detailed traffic flow on a SonicWall firewall is the Packet Monitor. This tool allows administrators to view real-time packet data and analyze the specifics of the traffic passing through the firewall. By using the Packet Monitor, users can capture, display, and filter packets based on various criteria, which enables them to gain insights into network performance, troubleshoot issues, and understand traffic patterns.

Packet Monitor is particularly beneficial in scenarios where there is a need to delve into the specifics of individual packets, providing a granular view of the traffic flow. This level of detail is essential for diagnosing complex network problems or ensuring compliance with policies regarding data transmission.

While other features like Log Viewer, Traffic Analyzer, and System Monitor have their unique capabilities, they do not provide the same level of detail in real-time packet analysis that the Packet Monitor offers. Log Viewer focuses on records of events and alerts, Traffic Analyzer provides aggregated traffic statistics and reports, and System Monitor offers a dashboard view of system performance and utilization, but none of these tools can analyze packet-level details in the way that Packet Monitor can.
