The next three counters describe: | |||
* the number of packets captured for the corresponding filter. | |||
* the number of packets dropped by the capturing module. Packet drops can appear when doing live capture and more packets are captured than can be transferred via HTTP to the client, or the storage is not capable of storing all matching packets. During live capture, the drop counter is the exact number of packets matching the filter but were dropped because of the reasons mentioned previously. Packet drops are also accounted when capturing from the past out of the ring buffer. It happens when the ring buffer dropped packets during the capture interval due to insufficient bandwidth available on the storage devices. In retrospective capturing, the drop counter only indicates that some packets may have been missed. The counter is the total amount of packets not available in the ring buffer, which are not necessarily part of the capture filter. | |||
* the number of ignored packets. Ignored packets do not match the given capture filter. | |||
The following columns list the applied filter criteria. The last column contains a button to stop the corresponding download. Downloads can also be stopped by clicking the same capture button that started the capture in the corresponding module. If multiple devices have been configured, the list also contains all captures from all multi-devices which can be stopped individually. | |||
