VMX-Capture uses probes to process and analyse data from network capture or sent by client applications in real time, for performance analysis and fault diagnosis. This data (both individual events and pre-aggregated statistics) is delivered to a set of Agent Points configured within VMX-Analytics, where further analysis (such as multi-hop latency analytics) is performed, and data is prepared for display in VMX-Explorer. Agent Points are at different locations along the Flow that messages take through the network or application.
Agent Point
An Agent Point is an end point in VMX-Analysis, responsible for translating business data events from probes, and converting and mapping them to the Attributes for the relevant Flow. If needed, Agent Points can also be configured to retrieve Correlation IDs from independent sources.
