Abstract
A method for monitoring data associated with a virtual computing environment is provided. The method includes receiving virtually-originated data, wherein the virtually-originated data originated from a virtual server in the virtual computing environment and transmitted in the form of data packets. The method also includes encapsulating the virtually-originated data using a tunneling protocol, forming encapsulated traffic. The method further includes transmitting the encapsulated traffic to a tap device, wherein the tap device decapsulates the encapsulated traffic to recover a version of the virtually-originated data and forwards the version of the virtually-originated data to a monitoring device.
