Loading traffic for events

When viewing the events table, you can load traffic associated with registered events and/or incidents. Traffic is loaded into a PCAP file (when one event is selected) or into a ZIP archive containing PCAP files (when multiple events or incidents are selected).

The capability to load traffic is available if no more than 200 events are selected in the events table (including events within incidents).

Traffic for events is loaded from the application database. The database saves traffic only when registering events for which traffic saving is enabled. The application can also save traffic in the database directly by requesting to load traffic using traffic dump files. These files are intended for temporarily saving traffic and are automatically deleted as more and more traffic is received from the industrial network (the frequency of file deletion depends on the amount of traffic received and the defined application data storage settings). To ensure that traffic is loaded, it is recommended to enable the saving of traffic for the relevant event types and configure the settings for saving traffic in the database in accordance with the rate of traffic and registration of events.
