How is NetSenX deployed?
You choose: connect one agent to a SPANSPAN: switch port analyser. A switch setting that sends a copy of network traffic to one port, where a sensor can watch it. or TAPTAP: test access point. A small device that copies the traffic on a network cable for a sensor to watch. port to watch a whole network segment, or install the agent on the hosts you want to monitor. The agent runs as a system service on Linux and macOS; on Linux the installer accepts only a package signed with the NetSenX release key, and macOS agents are set up together with NetSenX support. The dashboard is a service hosted in the EU; an on-premises option is available on the Enterprise plan.
