Distributed analysis
Distributed analysis allows the analyst to collect data from remote locations and analyze the data locally. This eliminates costly visits to remote locations for portable analysis. Omnipeek supports two primary methods for distributed analysis.
Remote Adapters
If you have an Aruba or Cisco access point, you can stream packets from one or more of those access points into a wireless capture window in Omnipeek. See Capturing Packets from an Access Point Capture Adapter.
Capture Engines
Capture Engines provide data capture and analysis 24 hours a day without requiring ongoing monitoring by the analyst. Capture Engines are Windows software or Linux appliances (LiveCapture) that are designed for continuous, remote operation. For wireless analysis, supported wireless adapters need to be added to enable wireless capture. Capture Engines are controlled using Omnipeek as a console. See Using Capture Engines with Omnipeek.
