• The first stage focuses on capturing data from a variety of sources using several methods and tools. This stage utilizes:
  • SNMP, Flow, and Syslogs for network and device performance monitoring.
  • Packet Analysis to capture network packets for detailed inspection.
  • Application Monitoring (AM) Agents for gathering application performance metrics.
  • API Connections to pull in data from third-party applications.
  • Custom Scripting (e.g., Python) and Web Scraping for specialized data collection.
• The data is centralized through a Unified Agent for streamlined processing within the Core Engine.
