Using Web Publishing Service
To receive maximum benefit from the Web Publishing Service, it is recommended that
you run Observer’s Trending mode at all times to collect a complete view of your
network/WAN’s data flow patterns.
Once you have collected trending data at the local Observer (or at the console for
Distributed Observer), you can view the data using Web Publishing.
For data collected at a Probe site, Observer offers the ability to “harvest” data from remote
Probes at configurable time frames. Please see the “Using Probe” (Probe Setup) section of
the Probe manual for more information on configurable Probe data transfers.
To view Web Publishing data from any Web browser, enter the following URL in your
Web browser:
http://[Observer PC]/Observer/WebExt.htm
substituting either the IP address (e.g., “192.168.0.3”) or DNS name (e.g.,
“jim.impossico.com”) for [Observer PC].
