Overview

A new NST script: "nstringbufcap" has been developed with NST 24 for managing one or more network packet capture sessions that utilize a ring buffer storage mechanism. This capability allows one to capture network traffic pre and post some controlled event. Currently, an NST Network Interface Bandwidth Monitor 2 Threshold Pause State Notification Execs template: "/etc/nst/notifications/bwmon/tp_state_nstringbufcap_snapwuimerge.template" is provided for snapping a capture when a Pause event occurs and then the NST WUI Network Packet Capture pages can be used for capture decode and analysis.
