Application Metadata Intelligence

Application Metadata Intelligence can export up to 6000 attributes for over 4000 applications without impacting the users, devices, applications, or the network appliances. The feature identifies applications even when the traffic is encrypted.

Note:  The DPI attributes of certain applications will be extracted and exported only if the traffic is decrypted. Please refer to the list of such applications under "Decrypted Traffic Support" in the GigaVUE‑FM Application Protobook.

The generated metadata is exported in IPFIX (IP Flow Information Export) format and CEF (Common Even Format) to security analytics and forensics tools, thereby providing greater visibility to enforce corporate compliance.

Note:  Work with your Gigamon representative to get the latest IPFIX elements.

The output from the Application Metadata Intelligence in CEF format can also be converted to JSON format using Observability Gateway Application (AMX) application. To learn more about the OGW application, refer to Application Metadata Exporter.
