Observer Standard
Observer Standard provides first-level network analysis, including real-time packet captures and decodes, filtering, real-time statistics, triggers and alarms, trending, and more across multiple topologies (LAN, wireless, and gigabit).
Observer fully supports 64-bit Windows to maximize analysis performance. A 32-bit version is also included. The capture buffer is limited by the operating system (4 GB for 32-bit, 124 GB for 64-bit).
Observer is the only network analyzer built from a unified code set. This unique advantage, the Distributed Network Analysis (NI-DNAT) architecture, offers scalability and seamless integration across the entire Observer family. You'll need just one interface to carry out network monitoring across topologies, locations, and technologies.
