Components of GCB for Service Mesh and HTTPS/2 Support with Metadata

The Gigamon Containerized Broker for service mesh and HTTPS/2 support with metadata works with the following components:

  • GigaVUE® Fabric Manager (GigaVUE-FM) is a web-based fabric management and orchestration interface that provides a single pane of glass visibility, management, and orchestration of both the physical and virtual traffic that form the GCB.
  • GCB Service is a traffic acquisition component that collects the data from the Pcapper and sends the Pcapper traffic to the GCB PODs.
  • GCB POD is the primary GCB module that collects the Pcapper traffic from GCB Service, filters the traffic and tunnels the filtered traffic directly to the tools or through the V Series nodes. GCB POD also sends the statistics and heartbeats to GCB Controller.
  • GCB Controller is the management component of GCB to control and communicate with GCB PODs. GCB Controller collects the data from GCB PODs and sends the collected statistics and heartbeats to GigaVUE-FM.
