ApplicationVantage
With ApplicationVantage, many of the functions that are provided with other vendors’ packet capture and analysis solutions can be performed from a single console location. This allows the ApplicationVantage user to perform transaction analysis without switching products.
To pinpoint specific problems identified by users, IT professionals need to obtain transaction-specific data. The optional Extended Merge™ module provides remote capture capabilities for specific problem transactions. Users can set up filters to obtain only the relevant data and perform the start and stop of the capture in a controlled environment. From there, they can retrieve and merge any number of traces to obtain a realistic view of the transaction and determine the source of the problem.

Extended Merge The Extended Merge allows the user to merge any number of trace files together to provide a unified view of the transaction. |
The optional Unattended Capture Manager (UCM) module allows administrators to manage the capture of network traffic at strategic points in the network and retrieve the captured data on an “as needed” basis. When collecting the data from remote agents, a time filter for a specific period can be selected to limit the amount of data captured. For example, agents can be set up to capture data for three hours. If a problem occurs during that period, the administrator may decide to retrieve data five minutes before and after the event so only the relevant data necessary to troubleshoot the problem is collected.

UCM The UCM allows users to see how much data has been captured and focus only on the trace data needed to troubleshoot the problem. |
To help resolve problems more quickly, it is important to obtain packet details at the ISO layers 2 through 4. In ApplicationVantage, the protocol detail breakout and packet detail are available as split windows under the Packet Trace Analysis Report. Protocol detail is shown in the packet trace as a tree structure for each of the decoded layers. This allows the analyst to quickly identify problems and restore application and infrastructure performance to its optimal levels.
