Beeks Analytics uses probes to capture data about business objects and other entities. Probes are positioned at visibility points in the network or application.

Business Object

A business object is an entity that progresses through a network or application. For example, an order, quote, fill, heartbeat etc.

Probe

A probe is an ultra-fast, lightweight capture mechanism within VMX-Capture which decodes and/or analyses traffic, delivering business objects and statistics to one or more Agents configured in VMX-Analytics.

A probe sits within a PMUX.

Visibility Point

A location in an application or network from which we want to capture data. There are often multiple probes at one visibility point.
