CAPTURE GUIDE

3.1 CAPTURE CONTROL

The interface in Capture > Capture Control contains options for the capture of
traffic and indexing of captured traffic.
When a capture is in progress, the traffic is automatically indexed in the specified
datasource. If the 'Keep Files' option is enabled in the capture interface's settings, the
captured traffic is saved on the disk, with new files being automatically created either
every 30 seconds, or when the current file's size reaches 4 GB.
Note: Capture files are automatically analyzed and indexed. The 'keep
▶
file' option determines whether or not the trace files are conserved in
the data vault after having been analyzed.
If the 'keep file' option is enabled, it will be possible to retrieve the
complete trace file, part or it, or a filtered copy, from the dashboards.
If the 'keep file' option is disabled, the dashboards will only display the
indexed data, and it will not be possible to retrieve the original trace file.
The Indexing section defines the database and the index in which the captured data
will be indexed.
The default datasource is the database already present on the IOTA device. Other
datasources can be selected if they have been set up in Configuration > Data
Sources.
The Index subsection defines which index the captured data will be saved to. Either
select an index already present on the selected database, or create a new one by
selecting the second option and typing a name (must start with 'profisight').
