Build a complete picture of every payment transaction path with INETCO Insight – multi-link transaction assembly and advanced message decode capabilities.
How INETCO Insight Works
INETCO Insight provides out-of-the-box support for a range of financial transaction types using standard financial industry protocols such as ISO 8583 and Visa 2.
An application-agnostic platform, INETCO Insight can be configured to monitor custom transaction types, including those using HTTP or XML-based protocols.
The INETCO Insight architecture is made up of three major components:
- Event Collectors - Monitor data activity
- Event Processor - Decode and analyze transactions
- Web Server and Client - Dashboard view of network activity
Transaction information is captured through INETCO Insight Event Collectors that "listen" to mirrored network traffic from a SPAN or TAP port on a managed ethernet switch. These Collectors forward monitored transaction information to the INETCO Insight Event Processor. The Event Processor correlates the transaction information, performs statistical processing, and then outputs information in three ways:
- Through real-time alerts (email or syslog);
- To the INETCO Insight Web Server for interactive display; and,
- Into standard databases for offline reporting and analytics.
The INETCO Insight architecture adapts easily to changes in your environment and provides visibility into third-party environments. It uses a mirrored port on a managed Ethernet switch to access network data flow into and out of your core transaction application. No agents need to be installed and no code needs to change in your application.
