Cloudflare Magic Network Monitoring

Improve your network and cloud traffic visibility. Customers with public IPs can also detect DDoS attacks based on their traffic flows.

Available on all plans

Magic Network Monitoring provides visibility into your network and cloud traffic by analyzing network flow data that your routers or cloud environment send. The service supports NetFlow v5, NetFlow v9, IPFIX, and sFlow. In cloud environments, it supports AWS VPC flow logs through AWS Firehose.

Magic Network Monitoring is generally available to all users with a Cloudflare account by default. You can log in to your Cloudflare dashboard, select your account, then go to the Network flow ↗ page to get started.

All users can use the free version in a home network, network lab, or business to get end-to-end visibility across their network traffic. Potential enterprise customers are encouraged to use the free version to run a proof of concept.

Enterprise customers can use Magic Network Monitoring with Magic Transit on-demand to monitor their network, identify volumetric DDoS attacks, and activate Magic Transit on-demand to mitigate those attacks.

Refer to Get started.
