Device List

The Device List displays all devices An entity type representing network devices or hardware components deployed in the customer environment that are monitored for performance and anomalies. in your environment that have the Packet Capture Module deployed. When you deploy a Packet Capture Module, it automatically registers with the Packet Capture Module Web UI User Interface. The visual components and controls that users interact with to access features and manage the system. and becomes visible in the device list.

Each device entry in the list shows:

• Device Name: The hostname or identifier of the device.

• Connection Status: Whether the device is currently connected to the Backend Services.

• Health Information: Current operational state of the Packet Capture Module on the device.

• Capture Job List: All capture jobs Writes network packets to local disk for continuous or on-demand captures. associated with the device. See Capture Job List for more information about viewing capture jobs.

• Harvest History: A historical record of all harvest The process of retrieving PCAP files from Packet Capture Module devices and transferring them to a customer-provided repository for analysis. operations performed on the device. See Harvest History for more information.

When a new device is deployed, it uses the settings in your default capture profile A configuration template that defines packet capture parameters. to determine its initial behavior. If the default profile is configured to automatically start a capture, the new device will begin capturing using the parameters defined in that profile. If the default profile is set for the module to remain idle, the module will send heartbeat messages to the Backend Services but will not start capture jobs until you issue a command to start one.
