Capture profiles can be used in the capture dialog for custom packet truncation rules. Such profiles defines custom rules for packet snapshot length similar to ring buffer filters. This allows to use a different snapshot length for specific layer 7 protocols, if for example traffic of one protocol shall be captured completely while for another protocol only the IP header shall be captured. Such a capture profile can be selected in the capture dialog in the "Truncate packet length" select box. | |||
Up to 10 different profiles can be configured by clicking at the "Add profile" button. The add/edit dialog allows to enter a profile name and up to 10 rules for snapshot length. Similar to [[Packet ring buffer#Packet ring buffer snapshot length filter|ring buffer filters]], the first rule that matches for the selected type is used to decide for the snapshot length of the actual packet. | |||
