Observer Suite

Observer Suite combines the functionality of Observer Standard and Observer Expert plus adds SNMP device management, RMON compliance, and web reporting. It provides an enterprise level of network analysis for LAN, wireless, and low-utilisation gigabit networks.

For maximum 64-bit processing, Observer Suite includes a 64-bit core. A 32-bit version is also included.

Observer is the only network analyser built from a unified code set. This unique advantage, the Distributed Network Analysis (NI-DNA™) architecture, offers scalability and seamless integration across the entire Observer family. Administrators need to learn only one interface to monitor across topologies, locations, and technologies.

Gain Greater Visibility

Observer Suite offers network administrators the ability to optimise devices with a full SNMP management console. Monitor different segments with RMON collection consoles. View statistics and share Observer results from any web browser with web report publishing capabilities.

SNMP Device Management

Observer Suite offers a single solution for multi-vendor hardware networks, including a remote console for SNMP-compliant devices anywhere on your LAN/WAN or connected by the Internet.

Web Publishing and Web Reporting

A web browser is all that is needed to view data and generate reports for non-Observer users (other employees or outside consultants). You control the level of access. Share reports across the company and automate report delivery. Obtain current and historical data as well as usage trends based upon specific stations.

Reporting benefits:

• Share reports company wide
• Publish network “weather reports” for your corporate intranet/extranet
• Follow developing trends to prepare for upgrades or expansion activities
• Drill down inside any report for root-cause analysis
• Quickly publish reports with ready-made or custom reporting options

RMON Device Management

RMON is an industry standard for traffic management and packet-level data collection from multi-segment LANs. Observer Suite fully supports RMON and HCRMON standards and can monitor any RMON-controlled device including routers, switches, servers, or hardware probes. Configure alarms to warn of impending problems.

Full XML/SOAP Support

Obtain access to error, capacity, and historical network data for any application that supports XML or SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol).

Custom Decode Kit

Add custom, proprietary, or additional protocols to Observer decodes, including wireless.
