Capture module: Difference between revisions

By clicking on the input field or on the calendar icon you can choose the start and end time of the capture. The input field is also editable with keyboard and allows entering a time on a second basis. If the start time is in the past, the complete capture is performed on the stored data of the capture ring buffer. When the capture reaches the newest packets it still continues to read from the capture ring buffer. The dialog will limit the start time input to the earliest data of the capture ring buffer. Be aware, that a possible capture ring buffer filter was applied on the past data and is also applied on future data in this mode. The start time may also be in the future. The capture is scheduled and starts as soon as a packet is received with a time later than the start time. If the whole time input field is marked and deleted, the start or end time will reset back to the default value. The default value for start time is '''now''', the capture will start with pushing the '''Start capturing''' button. The default value of the end time is '''unlimited''', the capture will not stop unless stopped manually by clicking on the stop button. Eight buttons offer quick selection of often used time settings.
