Chapter 7: Mining GigaStor Data
Mining data from your GigaStor
Retrieving data from GigaStor and analyzing it is a primary function of the
GigaStor Control Panel. You can use the information in the packet capture to
identify numerous network conditions. By using filters and a specific analysis
type, you can hone in on the exact information you want.
You have different options when you want to analyze captured data. You can
analyze the data:
♦
Without any filters.
♦
With filters from the Observer Analyzer filter editor.
♦
With filters from the GigaStor Control Panel.
♦
By combining filters from the GigaStor Control Panel and the Observer
filter editor.
Note: All packets captured by the probe are time stamped immediately
as it is seen by the capture card interface and then passed to the capture
buffer. This ensures the most accurate timestamp.
Table 6 (page 220) describes the different options available on the GigaStor
Analysis Options screen that appears when you click the Analyze button on the
GigaStor Control Panel.
