HIGH AVAILABILITY OF COLLECTORS OF TRAFFIC REPORTED BY NETWORK SENSORS

摘要

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for collector high availability. In some embodiments, a system receives, from a first collector device, a first data report generated by a capturing agent deployed on a host system in a network. The system can also receive, from a second collector device, a second data report generated by the capturing agent deployed on the host system. The first and second data reports can include traffic data captured at the host system by the capturing agent during a period of time. The system can determine that the first data report and the second data report are both associated with the capturing agent, and identify duplicate data contained in the first data report and the second data report. The system can then deduplicate the first and second data reports to yield a deduplicated data report.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
receiving, by a system and via a first collector device, a first data report generated by a capturing agent deployed on a host system in a network, the first data report comprising traffic data captured at the host system by the capturing agent; receiving, by the system and via a second collector device, a second data report generated by the capturing agent deployed on the host system, the second data report comprising traffic data captured at the host system by the capturing agent; determining, by the system, that the first data report and the second data report are both associated with the capturing agent; in response to determining that the first and second data reports are both associated with the capturing agent, identifying, by the system, duplicate data contained in the first data report and the second data report; and deduplicating, by the system, the first and second data reports to yield a deduplicated data report.
