Probes are positioned in Visibility Points on the network or in an application.

A) Embedded probes  

  • Allow data to be sent programmatically from within a client application. 

  • Can use Beeks supplied libraries or simple UDP beacons issued directly by client applications. 

  • Are embedded in different places in an application. 

  • Collect data directly as business objects relevant to the probe’s location. 

B) Network probes  

  • Tap data on the wire. 

  • Generate network statistics 

  • Collect data by re-inflating business objects from bytes and packets.
