Security features for APM appliances

A Foglight™ monitoring environment may include one or more physical appliances and/or virtual appliances used for application performance monitoring (APM). This describes the security features present on the appliances.

Overview of APM appliances

Appliances can host one or more of the following software components: Management Server, Sniffer, and Archiver. Appliances with a Sniffer component are attached to the customer’s network where they passively monitor Web traffic. Sniffers capture, decrypt, and analyze the Web traffic, and transmit content and metrics to one or more Archivers within the same capture group as the Sniffer. Archivers receive the data from Sniffers, analyze the data, and maintain databases used for searching, reporting, and replay. Archivers send snapshots of collected data to the Management Server for display in top-level APM dashboards.

The following table describes the type of appliances that implement the security features discussed in the rest of this section. Appliances come with a predefined set of software components installed on the appliance. Appliances can be physical appliances (PowerEdge series hardware) or virtual appliances (VMware® vSphere®). Both physical and virtual appliances can exist in the same installation, with some restrictions.
