Correct arrangement

  • NetFlow
  • IPS
  • Wireshark
  • server log

Explanation

The correct arrangement maps data sources to their corresponding data types based on what kind of network or security data each tool produces. NetFlow provides session/flow data (metadata about network conversations), IPS generates alert/event data (threat detections and rule triggers), Wireshark captures full packet data (complete network packet captures for deep inspection), and server logs produce log/application data (recorded events from operating systems or applications). Each tool is uniquely suited to its data type by design and primary function.
