Abstract
Systems and methods for policy-based distributed packet capture include collecting, at one or more capture points distributed across one or more cloud environments, packet capture data; retaining the packet capture data at one or more packet capture caches associated with the one or more capture points; sending the packet capture data to a packet store associated with a tenant of a cloud-based system. The collecting can be based on preconfigured policy, dictating what specific data is captured at the one or more capture points.
Claims20
A method comprising steps of:
- collecting, at one or more capture points distributed across one or more cloud environments, packet capture data;
- retaining the packet capture data at one or more packet capture caches associated with the one or more capture points;
- sending the packet capture data to a packet store associated with a tenant of a cloud-based system;
- and
- deleting the packet capture data from the one or more packet capture caches.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors to perform steps of:
- collecting, at one or more capture points distributed across one or more cloud environments, packet capture data;
- retaining the packet capture data at one or more packet capture caches associated with the one or more capture points;
- sending the packet capture data to a packet store associated with a tenant of a cloud-based system;
- and
- deleting the packet capture data from the one or more packet capture caches.
