Packet Forwarder Configuration
The Unica Discover Packet Forwarder can be configured through the configuration files that are stored in the installation directory.
The typical scenario of a Cloud website would include an elastic load balancer (ELB) to distribute web traffic to a dynamically provisioned web server tier that consists of multiple web-server instances. Each web-server instance would have a Packet Forwarder installed to forward the captured web traffic to a centralized DNCA. The DNCA runs on a virtual machine instance and processes the web traffic. After the web-server instance is properly configured, an Amazon machine instance (AMI) is created for the instance. The AMI is then dynamically provisioned to provide as many instances as needed.
