Gigamon Glimpse (Metadata Evaluation Bundle)

Gigamon Glimpse is a free, ready-to-deploy metadata evaluation bundle that allows you to get first-hand experience with Application Metadata Intelligence (AMI) using your live network traffic, all without disrupting existing production tools or environments.

Designed for seamless integration, Gigamon Glimpse streamlines metadata analysis, delivering rapid insights and actionable visibility, even in restricted or tool-limited settings. It serves as a temporary evaluation tool, making it ideal for internal demonstrations of metadata capabilities. Unlike traditional AMI Starter Pack demos that rely on predefined datasets, Gigamon Glimpse processes real network traffic, providing a more accurate and relevant assessment of its benefits.

Gigamon Glimpse integrates with Elastic to showcase use cases for monitoring performance, security and compliance requirements. It enables users to view, analyze, and extract crucial application and protocol metadata, facilitating deeper investigations and more informed decision-making.

The key capabilities of Gigamon Glimpse include:

Actionable Insights & Visualization

  • Gain instant visibility into your data, traffic, and insights—within minutes.
  • Gigamon Glimpse is simple to deploy, serving as an efficient metadata evaluation tool that delivers valuable insights.
  • Gigamon Glimpse provides visual analytics with Elastic for various use cases, including performance monitoring, security analysis, and compliance.

Seamless Data Processing & Integration

Gigamon Glimpse receives the JSON export of the AMI metadata attributes from AMX, stores them in a database, and generates visualizations to help identify security threats, troubleshoot performance issues, and ensure compliance (e.g., PCI compliance dashboards for weak ciphers and encryption algorithms) for evaluation purposes.
