Product Overview

ServicePilot NBA is designed with a modular architecture, comprising several key components that work together to provide comprehensive TCP/IP application performance monitoring. The Data Collector is responsible for capturing network traffic using techniques like packet sniffing. The Processing Engine analyzes these packets to extract performance metrics such as response time and throughput.

The Web Interface provides a user-friendly interface for monitoring and configuration. A database stores historical performance data for reporting and trend analysis. These components communicate through internal APIs and protocols.

The Data Collector sends captured packets to the Processing Engine for analysis. The Processing Engine stores the analyzed data in the database. The Web Interface retrieves data from the database to display real-time monitoring dashboards and generate reports.

ServicePilot NBA supports integration with other systems using SNMP and syslog. The system supports authentication methods such as LDAP and local user accounts and uses a role-based access control (RBAC) model for user management. Competing products like SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor and Wireshark offer similar functionality, but ServicePilot NBA's architecture is tailored for z/OS environments.
