Passive monitoring is a technique used to capture traffic from a network by copying traffic, often from a span port or mirror port or via a network tap. It can be used in application performance management for performance trending and predictive analysis.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Anatomy of APM - 4 Foundational Elements to a Successful Strategy )〕 *It can be analyzed in a sniffer such as Wireshark. *It can be examined for flows of traffic, providing information on "top talkers" in a network as well as TCP round-trip time. *It can be reassembled according to an application's state machine into end-user activity (for example, into database queries, e-mail messages, and so on.) This kind of technology is common in real user monitoring. *In some cases, HTTP reassembly is further analyzed for web analytics. Passive monitoring can be very helpful in troubleshooting performance problems once they have occurred. Passive monitoring differs from synthetic monitoring in that it relies on actual inbound web traffic to take measurements, so problems can only be discovered after they have occurred. Synthetic monitoring is also referred to as active monitoring, which helps report on system availability and predefined business transactions using synthetic probes and web robots.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Prioritizing Gartner's APM Model )〕 While initially viewed as competitive to synthetic monitoring approaches, most networking professionals now recognize that passive and synthetic monitoring are complementary. ==See also== * Computer and network surveillance * Packet analyzer * Wiretapping 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Passive monitoring」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
