The industry’s highest performing network packet capture and forensics solution
Network packet capture and forensics for deep root cause analysis
LiveWire equips NetOps and SecOps teams with advanced network forensics to enhance network performance and security.
It captures and analyzes detailed packet data in real time and at scale, providing network and application performance insights that accelerate troubleshooting and optimize your network for key business outcomes.

I want to …
Achieve granular visibility
Convert packet data into rich flow data from anywhere in your network (including data centers, SD-WAN edges, the cloud, and remote sites) to quickly resolve specific issues exactly where they’re happening.
Accelerate root cause troubleshooting for network and application issues
Feed templated workflows and automations with detailed network packet data to more quickly find and fix the root causes of network and application issues without jumping between multiple solutions and screens.
Optimize security and compliance
Investigate and report on issues more efficiently and comprehensively, leveraging detailed network packet data to meet compliance standards and expedite assured security investigations.
What you can do
Network telemetry and packet capture
Generate telemetry for monitoring and capture packets from anywhere
LiveWire is the only solution designed to collect and process the data network engineers need—both network telemetry and network packets. LiveWire integrates with LiveNX to extend network monitoring and application troubleshooting to remote sites and branches, the WAN edge (including SD-WAN), data centers, and the cloud. When telemetry data isn’t enough to solve complex problems, easily transition from monitoring to packet-level forensics and back using LiveNX as your single pane of glass.
Eliminate blind spots
Protect every physical and virtual inch of your network
Network monitoring systems rely on telemetry from network infrastructure devices, such as switches and routers, to provide dashboards and analysis. But telemetry is not available everywhere, creating blind spots, especially at remote sites, virtual environments, and in the cloud. LiveWire provides NetOps teams with the same in-depth level of analytics across these locations as it does for physical networks.
Identify application performance issues
Quickly identify and resolve application issues without needing deep analysis
By creating unmatched telemetry from packet data, LiveWire offers a level of intelligence not found in other network performance monitoring solutions. LiveNX leverages this rich packet-based telemetry to quickly identify and resolve application issues, such as VoIP and video performance problems, using hop-by-hop visualizations, often without the need for deeper analysis. And with LiveWire, network packets are always available for deeper analysis if needed.
Forensic-level analysis
Go from network monitoring to packet-level forensic analysis
With LiveWire, telemetry data generated directly from packets provides more detail than typical telemetry data from NetFlow or other flow-based standards, adding to the rich network monitoring data that already exists in LiveNX. For detailed analysis, LiveWire and LiveNX make it easy to transition seamlessly between packets and network monitoring data, all from a single network monitoring dashboard.
Intelligent packet capture
Store more data than competitive solutions in a smaller form factor with no impact to performance
By using a network tap or bridge to mirror traffic, LiveWire monitors packet data without impacting the performance of production network traffic, which can often be a problem with network infrastructure devices. LiveWire also optimizes packet storage with intelligent packet capture, automatically detecting encrypted traffic and retaining only packet headers when enabled. Why store data you can’t decrypt?
Security incident response
Resolve security incidents with the help of rich packet data
For security incident response, there’s nothing more valuable than the packets. LiveWire provides a recording of all activity—the network packets—to help determine both the fingerprint and the extent of a breach. A recording of the packets is unalterable proof of what happened on the network before, during, and after an intrusion is detected.
Scalable deployment
Tailor LiveWire to your unique network needs
LiveWire offers both virtual and physical appliance configurations, allowing you to deploy high-speed packet capture where it is needed most and with the right level of performance.
Streamline installation and management
Manage and administer hundreds or thousands of LiveWire appliances
LiveWire Grid is a software-as-a-service solution that simplifies and scales the management and administration of LiveWire devices, no matter how many are deployed. LiveWire Grid offers streamlined installation and ongoing administration of LiveWire appliances for an exceptionally low total cost of ownership. It also provides features such as single sign-on, cloud-based backup and restore, and template-based mass configuration pushes.
