Pre-installed on LiveCapture, Capture Engine captures and analyzes network traffic in real time and records that traffic for post-capture analysis. With Capture Engine, network engineering teams can monitor distributed networks remotely and quickly identify and remedy performance bottlenecks without leaving the office.

Capture Engine works in conjunction with Omnipeek, a separate software program required for the monitoring and analysis of the packets captured remotely by LiveCapture. For more information on how to view and analyze remote captures from within the Omnipeek console, please see Using Capture Engines with Omnipeek, and also the Omnipeek User Guide or Omnipeek online help.
