The HP FlexFabric Switch must provide the capability for authorized users to remotely view, in real time, all content related to an established user session from a component separate from the HP FlexFabric Switch.

Description
Without the capability to remotely view/hear all content related to a user session, investigations into suspicious user activity would be hampered. Real-time monitoring allows authorized personnel to take action before additional damage is done. The ability to observe user sessions as they are happening allows for interceding in ongoing events that after-the-fact review of captured content would not allow.
