Know your gear
The Stealthwatch Data Store provides a central repository to store your network's telemetry, collected by your Stealthwatch Flow Collectors. The Data Store is comprised of a cluster of Data Nodes, each containing a portion of your data, and a backup of a separate Data Node's data. Because all of your data is in one centralized database, as opposed to spread across multiple Flow Collectors, your Stealthwatch Management Console can retrieve query results from the Data Store more quickly than if it queried all of your Flow Collectors separately. The Data Store cluster provides improved fault tolerance, improved query response, and quicker graph and chart population.
