Observer GigaTest
GigaTest™, available as an option on Apex makes adding the power of active test simple. With GigaTest, the patented end-user experience score has become even more accurate, factoring service delivery of cloud-hosted applications into the results. It delivers proactive test analytics and performance visibility for the applications you use every day whether on-premises or in the cloud as well as wherever users are located. IT staff get a single, global view of hybrid network health with deep visibility and actionable insights into their IT services independent of user or hosting location.
Once GigaTest is enabled and activated, Apex does the work of combining active test data with that provided by GigaStor packet and GigaStor M metadata for enhanced EUE scoring. Check out the demo to see this in action. Service visibility can be further strengthened with GigaFlow enriched flow—all this as the demos show within the context of the existing dashboards and workflows.
Apex + GigaTest Features and Benefits Summary
Integrating packet-level with active test data, delivers comprehensive end-to-end network monitoring coverage. IT teams can confidently answer questions such as:
- Which specific domain is being impacted, can the issue be isolated to the network, application, server, or client?
- Is there a problem affecting a single site or multiple sites?
- Is there a problem affecting access to a SaaS application by users? Is it the SaaS provider or a problem on our side, whether on-premises or remote user?
User-Defined Dashboard F.A.Q.
What is a Network Performance Dashboard?
A network performance dashboard is a report populated with widgets, and these widgets show the information collected by your data sources.
- How are network performance dashboards populated?
Your reports—your dashboards—are populated with one or many widgets. The data shown by widgets in your dashboards belongs to Observer. To make use of dashboards, Observer must be collecting network trending data and be a data source to Apex. Without trending data, Apex will not have any data for the widgets in a dashboard.
- Can my view of a network performance dashboard be shared with other users?
As long as you are viewing a site or system dashboard—user dashboards are not applicable—your current view of the dashboard can be summarized into a shareable URL. Whoever clicks the URL you share can see the dashboard how it appeared to you. Choices you have made like the reporting period and any temporary dashboard filters are retained by the URL. You can use this sharing feature in your instant messages, emails, or other documents.
To start building your network performance dashboard with Observer Apex:
Additional resources:
End-User Experience Scoring
Machine learning powered end-user experience (EUE) scoring for every network transaction with intelligently rolled-up values at the dashboard site level. Scores are color-coded and range from 0 to 10 with corresponding problem domain highlighted. Integrated with troubleshooting workflows and dashboards. Extend packet based EUE analysis with GigaTest active testing to include SaaS and remote users to further empower engineers to quickly identify, prioritize, and solve service issues.
Custom Dashboards and Streamlined Workflows
Customizable dashboards provide network observability of IT service health at the regional, country, city, data center levels, or functional level. When combined with end user experience scoring, IT teams can gain instant world-wide situational awareness of all resources and then, when required quickly drill down to an individual user for rapid problem resolution. Receive complimentary dashboard assistance by contacting VIAVI here by a technical specialist. Be sure to enter “Complimentary Dashboards” in the comments box.
On-Demand Multi-Tier Application Intelligence
On-demand application dependency mapping offers fast discovery of app interdependencies. Maps are built automatically to display complex relationships with simple clarity. This allows users to determine worst connections, app tiers, and network delay threshold deviations, while sorting all connections by status; critical, marginal, and acceptable.
Network Security Forensics
Not every performance issue can be solved without going back-in-time to analyze the underlying root cause of the problem. Likewise, given the never-ending series of cybersecurity breach announcements worldwide, it’s clear even the most robust IT security defense strategy with solutions such as firewalls, IDS/IPS, and SIEMs are necessary but no longer enough to protect critical resources—especially the organization’s crown jewels. That’s why Apex provides network forensics based on traffic and enriched flow to provide in-depth visibility past network activity.
Intuitive Visualizations with IP Viewer
By compiling Layer 2 to Layer 3 insights into a single enriched flow record, Observer can produce unique, interactive visualizations that illustrate the relationships between User, IP, MAC, and application usage in the network. A NetOps or SecOps user can simply enter a name enter in a username and immediately find all devices, interfaces, and applications associated with it. Finding out what is connected and who is communicating across your network has never been easier.
Apex Integrates with ServiceNow Platform
The ServiceNow and VIAVI strategic relationship continues to grow. Apex can now provide in-depth network observability via End-User Experience scoring to existing ServiceNow Information Technology Operations Management (ITOM) and Telecommunications Service Operations Management (TSOM) customers.

Apex Deployment Considerations:
- Deploy Apex in locations that maximize the opportunity to simplify connectivity with support components
- Monitoring instrumentation points depend on network size, configuration, and visibility requirements
- Utilize redundant Apex capabilities with two duplicate systems: a primary and a secondary for automated replication, facilitating redundancy
Available GigaTest Deployment Considerations:
Active testing eliminates blind spots and complements packet data. Select from three different agents to work alongside your packet capture to provide complete network visibility. Mix and match agents depending on where your visibility gaps exist:
- Windows Agent - for Windows-based server or workstation user devices
- Virtual Agent - available for most popular VM environments
- Raspberry Pi Image -for use on Raspberry Pi hardware within any on-premises enterprise environment
- Once your agents are deployed, add the GigaTest functionality to your Apex to process the metadata created by the agents-it's that simple and you are up and running.
