Install NI Observer Expert on the User's Computer

To enable a management console user to open a packet capture investigation on a NI GigaStor, the following software components must be installed on the user’s computer:

• NI Observer Expert. NI Observer Expert with NI GigaStor extends global application response-time monitoring from CA Application Delivery Analysis to provide drill-down into packet-level data for root-cause analysis.

  NI Observer Expert must be able to communicate with the NI GigaStor on TCP-25901 through TCP-25903. For more information about installing and licensing NI Observer Expert on the management console computer, contact your NI GigaStor administrator. Unlike the Connector for NI Observer Expert, the user cannot install NI Observer Expert from the management console.

• NI Observer Expert Connector. When a management console user attempts to open a packet capture investigation on a NI GigaStor for the first time, the Packet Capture Investigation report displays a link that prompts you to install the NI Observer Expert Connector.

  Under Required Software, click the down arrow link to run the Connector setup program.
