The
OmniFlow Collector appliance includes everything needed to perform the key
WatchPoint functions.
It collects OmniFlow data from multiple Omnipliance Network Recorders
and stores the results for subsequent query by the WatchPoint server to be displayed via
any supported web browser.OmniFlow data is a rich set of network-based statistics unlike that from any
other "flow-based" technology.
OmniFlow leverages the analytical power of
WildPackets OmniEngine network probes and
Omnipliance data recorders,
providing not just the traditional "flow-based" information on port and nodes, but adding
Expert analysis results based on real-time network analysis.
WildPackets Experts automatically identify network anomalies as they happen,
at whatever layer of the OSI model, and correlate this information with traditional
"flow-based" data like utilization, nodes and protocols. With
OmniFlow data you'll
see not only the spike in your utilization, but the possible causes of the anomaly as well,
all from the same network monitoring dashboard.
As the number of distinct network segments that you wish to monitor grows,
additional
OmniFlow Collectors can be deployed to maximize scalability and performance.
Only one
WatchPoint Server is needed regardless of the size of the network being monitored.
OmniFlow data includes
- Packet-based statistics
- Throughput
- Utilization
- Errors
- Nodes
- Protocols
- Conversations
- OmniPeek Expert Events
