 +This post introduces the newly released TrisulNSM Docker Appliance. A lightweight fast Network Traffic Analytics and Security Monitoring system that can be deployed instantly.

 +
 +The Docker appliance is on Docker Hub at [[https://​hub.docker.com/​r/​trisulnsm/​trisul6/​|trisulnsm/​trisul6]]
 +
 +Here are some links to get your started.
 +
 +  - **Start here** github [[https://​github.com/​trisulnsm/​docker|trisulnsm/​docker]] : Quick instructions on running the appliance ​
 +  - [[https://​trisul.org/​blog/​docker/​post.html|Blog post]] announcing the release ​
 +  - Devzone article [[docker:​pcap_analysis|"​Importing PCAPS"​]] explaining how you can import PCAP dumps 
 +
 +===== Advantages of the Docker NSM appliance =====
 +
 +  - Just run the appliance to get a complete NSM system live. All parts are included. There is no need to setup a backend database cluster with Elastic, Splunk, etc.
 +  - The performance is very close to directly installing on the host. 
 +  - Secure. The docker image is a minimal install, with only the necessary packages. ​
 +  - Also includes Suricata IDS with auto updates. ​ Trisul integrates the alert based metrics into its pipelines. Just check it out to see this powerful feature in action. ​
 +  - Built-in [[https://​trisul.org/​free|FREE Trisul Network Analytics]] License that lets you monitor for ever but only reports on the most recent 3 days. 
 +
 +
 +===== Next steps =====
 +
 +If you need a '​point'​ solution , this Docker image should be good enough for most deployments. ​ Here are some advantages of installing the packages directly on the host instead of Docker.
 +
 +  - Trisul packages allow a Hub+Probe architecture. The Docker image bundles them all in one ball. If you want to deploy a distribute probe network. You need to use the packages.
 +  - This image uses the ''​--net=host''​ Host network bridge. If you are uncomfortable with that , and there is no need to be, you can use the raw packages.
 +  - Short answer : In most case this Docker image will work just fine as an **all-in-one** NSM and Traffic Analytics system.
