Dashboard Widget — Packet Capture Instances

ExtremeCloud IQ Controller offers a dashboard widget to help manage multiple packet captures. ExtremeCloud IQ Controller supports up to 10 packet capture instances. To start a packet capture, go to the Troubleshooting tab for each selected AP or site. A summary of all currently active packet capture instances is provided on the Default dashboard. The Dashboard Widget — Packet Capture Instances displays a line item for each packet capture instance.

Default Dashboard -- Packet Capture Instances
Packet Capture Instances widget displays current packet captures.
Active instances display in green and inactive instances display in red. Inactive instances are eventually removed from the widget. The file name is automatically generated. The name is based on the AP or site where the capture was initiated plus an internal capture ID. Move easily between the dashboard widget and the packet capture configuration settings:
  • From the dashboard, select the packet capture instance link to jump to the specific packet capture configuration instance.
  • From each packet capture configuration page, select Active Packet Captures to jump to the dashboard widget.

You can stop individual packet capture instances from the corresponding configuration page, and you can stop all packet captures from the dashboard widget.
