📄️ AAA
AAA stands for authentication, authorization, and accounting. It is a framework for controlling access and recording user activity on networks and systems.
📄️ Access Control List
An Access Control List (ACL) is a set of rules on a network device that permits or denies traffic based on source IP, destination IP, protocol, and port, used for security, traffic filtering, and network management.
📄️ Active monitoring
Active monitoring is the practice of sending test traffic or synthetic checks to measure connectivity, response, and service behavior.
📄️ Aggregate counter group
An aggregate counter group is a summarized set of related counters combined into one higher-level metric view. It helps operators analyze traffic or system behavior at a broader level.
📄️ AI Query (IPDR)
AI Query (IPDR) in Trisul Network Analytics is an AI-assisted investigation and query workflow that helps operators navigate large-scale IPDR datasets, subscriber records, NAT mappings, and session metadata more efficiently during compliance and operational investigations.
📄️ Alerting
Alerting is the process of notifying operators when monitored systems, traffic, or services match a condition that may need attention.
📄️ Anomaly detection
Anomaly detection identifies data points, events, or observations that deviate significantly from normal behavior, used in network security to detect threats like DDoS attacks, port scans, and data exfiltration by comparing current traffic against established baselines.
📄️ Application monitoring
Application monitoring is the process of observing application behavior, availability, and performance to detect problems and understand user impact.
📄️ Archive
An archive in network analytics is retained historical data stored for later search, reporting, compliance, or forensic review.
📄️ ASN peering
ASN peering is the practice of establishing BGP peering relationships between two Autonomous Systems to exchange routing information and traffic directly, reducing transit costs and improving performance.
📄️ Audit log
An audit log is a chronological record of user activity, configuration changes, authentication events, and operational actions used for accountability, compliance, security investigations, and forensic reconstruction.
📄️ Authentication logging
Authentication logging is the recording of login attempts, success or failure events, and identity-related actions on systems and networks.
📄️ Availability
Availability is the measure of whether a service, system, or network is accessible and functioning when needed.
