Configuring Logging Settings
This section describes how to configure Packet Monitor logging settings. These settings
provide a way to configure automatic logging of the capture buffer to an external FTP server.
When the buffer fills up, the packets are transferred to the FTP server. The capture continues
without interruption.
If you configure automatic FTP logging, this supersedes the setting for wrapping the buffer
when full. With automatic FTP logging, the capture buffer is effectively wrapped when full, but
you also retain all the data rather than overwriting it each time the buffer wraps.
To configure logging settings, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Navigate to the Dashboard > Packet Monitor page and click Configure.
