Introduction to nDiscovery
nDiscovery is a graphical interface software tool for visualizing and managing recording files (i.e., PCAP) aboard a Daqscribe NPS9000 DISCOVERY STATION network recording storage and processing products. This optional software license also applies to select Daqscribe Ethernet packet recorder products, including most DDR7000 HYPERION models.
Purpose of nDiscovery
nDiscovery aids the information analysis process by allowing the user to quickly access the quantity and logical location of recordings within storage volumes (file systems directories). Information from each recording session’s metafile is instantaneously displayed within a summary window, such as the number of associated recording files (i.e., PCAP files), recording session duration, and a timeline map of a recorder operator’s text annotations. This software includes graphical file manipulation tools, including recording session cataloging and indexing (requires MDP software module license), copying, “cropping,” moving, exporting, and more.
Benefits of nDiscovery
- Visualize all data on the host’s storage volumes
- Quickly identify all recording sessions and associated files.
