ExtremeAnalytics Virtual Sensor
Configuration in Extreme Management
Center
The ExtremeAnalytics Virtual Sensor is a virtual machine that monitors
application flows across virtual environments. The Virtual Sensor sends network
traffic information to your ExtremeAnalytics engine for processing. The
ExtremeAnalytics engine then sends the processed information to Extreme
Management Center, where it is displayed on the Analytics tab.
In a typical environment, one Virtual Sensor is deployed on each physical ESX
host. Each Virtual Sensor is counted as 1/10 of a device towards your Extreme
Management Center device count license.
Use these instructions to add one or more Virtual Sensors to Extreme
Management Center. While it is possible to add the Virtual Sensor without using
the VMware vSphere ExtremeConnect module in Extreme Management Center,
the first method outlined in this topic is highly recommended. Refer to Virtual
Sensor Installation Guide for more information about using the Virtual Sensor.
