Note: The amount of dropped data depends on the data storage throughput and the amount of allocated
memory buffer. Disk arrays or SSDs can drastically improve capture performance.
3.1.10. Capture Control
The Capture Control tab allows you to start and stop the traffic capture on multiple ProfiShark devices at
once. Select multiple devices and click the Start Selected or Stop Selected button to start or stop the
capture for the selected devices. Each ProfiShark will capture using the settings defined on its Capture tab.
Current Buffer: If dropped packets start to appear ("Dropped" statistic), increase the
Buffer size value.
In high bandwidth utilization scenarios, a larger buffer size accommodates more data to
be temporarily stored into the computer's memory before being saved to the file,
helping to avoid captured data being dropped.
Enable this option to capture the entire L1 Ethernet frames, which include the preamble
(0x55), the SFD, and the CRC. This can be useful for TSN (Time-Sensitive Networking)
capture.
Enable this option to upload capture files to Cloudshark automatically.
Set the appropriate URL of the Cloudshark server on which to upload the capture files.
Set the appropriate token for the Cloudshark server set above.
Optional display filter for the capture files uploaded to Cloudshark. Regular
Cloudshark/Wireshark display filters can be set here. See:
