LiveWire Virtual is designed to work with LiveAction’s LiveNX, an innovative network performance visualization and analytics solution. Because LiveWire Virtual starts with packet data, it is able to provide a unique, and extended, set of flow-based monitoring data called LiveFlow. LiveFlow telemetry data is sent to LiveNX where, when combined with flow data from other sources, the complete network topology is visualized.

To use LiveWire Virtual with LiveNX, you must configure LiveWire Virtual to send the LiveFlow telemetry data to LiveNX, and then also properly set up LiveNX to receive the LiveFlow telemetry data from LiveWire. This chapter describes the tasks you must perform in order to properly send LiveFlow telemetry data from LiveWire Virtual to LiveNX.
