Simplify Network Monitoring With Cisco Nexus Dashboard Data Broker
Cisco, Friday, February 27th, 2026
Today's data centers rely on a variety of tools to provide enhanced visibility and observability of critical application traffic and traffic flow details. Utilizing switch-based telemetry capabilities is an extremely popular approach, but it's often the case that packet details or granular traffic filtering are desired; thus, a complementary solution is required.
Cisco Nexus Dashboard Data Broker is the perfect solution to ingest Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) and/or Test Access Point (TAP) traffic, apply filters and header modifications, provide packet deduplication, and then redirect traffic to monitoring and other tools such as intrusion prevention systems (IPS) and security incident and event management (SIEM) solutions.
