Overview
Keysight Vision Orchestrator (KVO) is the centralized control and automation layer for Keysight's Visibility solutions. It is designed to simplify configuration, streamline deployment, and manage Vision Packet Brokers (VPB) and visibility fabrics across physical, virtual, and cloud environments. KVO provides a unified management interface that enables IT, NetOps, and SecOps teams to define and enforce visibility policies with consistency at scale. Through automation, role-based access, and intuitive workflows, it accelerates deployment, reduces human error, and ensures visibility architectures remain aligned with evolving network and security requirements. By integrating seamlessly with Keysight Vision Packet Brokers and CloudLens, Vision Orchestrator automates the end-to-end visibility workflow from tapping traffic to distributing curated data streams to monitoring and security tools. This ensures that every tool in the stack receives the right traffic, at the right time, in the right format, maximizing tool efficiency and delivering actionable insights in real time.
Highlights
- Manage virtual and physical Keysight visibility solutions from single pane of glass
- Optimize operations with automation and advanced customizable reporting
- Handle large deployments with simple cluster management

64-bit (x86) Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
Version release notes
CloudLens vPB: Added address filtering, protocol filtering, DTLS encapsulation, header stripping, and remote syslog support.
CloudLens vTAP: vController and vHub now inherit NTP settings from KVO. vController can be installed as a KVO package. Alerts added for ungraceful sensor/vHub disconnects. Tap direction is now configurable on Cloud Collection traffic sources.
Dashboard and Monitoring: Port statistics exposed for inline ports on monitor devices. Statistics available for all entities in the Monitoring Policies diagram with new Collection Groups and Tools dashboards.
Monitoring Policies: Quick Filters section added for rapid filtering by IP, MAC, VLAN, or Subnet groups. Multiple traffic sources can be associated in any combination. Unmatched filters mode forwards traffic not included by other policies sharing the same sources.
Inventory Redesign: Simplified device onboarding workflow. Devices are adopted directly in Monitored mode with options to switch to Control mode or merge with Simulated Devices. Vision 7433, 5288, and 5293 device types are no longer supported.
Export/Import Config: Export now available at cluster level. KVO version included in export files. Monitoring Policies exportable to CSV. Firewall port state preserved in exports.
RBAC: New dedicated roles for import/export config, dashboard/alert management, and MobileStack device operations. Subscriber ownership enforced at Subscriber Group level.
Traffic Filtering: Asset types renamed for clarity (e.g., Traffic Behaviors to Protocol Filtering, Traffic Endpoints to Address Filtering). Source port filtering added on Collection Points and Attachment Points.
PacketStack Plus: Extended header stripping with MPLS L3VPN, GTP, LISP, and IP-in-IP support alongside deduplication.
Script Engine: Now supports executable Python zip archives (.pyz) for complex scripting use cases.
Subscriber Groups: Can be assigned by label to MobileStack devices. Existing groups automatically split by owner on upgrade.
Other Changes: KVO CLI removed (use REST API instead). Prometheus default metric changed to packets per second. Option to keep port speeds when switching devices from monitor to control mode.
