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 Agents configured within VMX-Analytics, where further analysis (such as multi-hop latency analytics) is performed, and data is prepared for display in VMX-Explorer. Agents are positioned at Agent Points which are different locations along the Flow that messages take through the network or application.
Agent
An agent 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, Agents can also be configured to retrieve Correlation IDs from independent sources.
