Scheduled Capture View

The Scheduled Capture View displays information about scheduled and running packet collection tasks. The first line will usually display the time when the next data file will be created. The following line will display running capturing tasks and their respective finishing time. If your capturing times do not overlap, you will not see more than two lines at once. If something went wrong, you will see an error message in one of the lines. In this case try to fix the problem. (You may need to change the prefix for the filename, e.g. due to invalid characters. Or you need to use a different target directory for your data files for which the program has write access. Use therefore the Scheduled Packet Capture Settings page of the Settings dialog.) You will always need to close the failed capture view and start a new scheduled collector.

If this view (or the application) is closed while data is captured, the data file will be created with all packets that have yet been collected.

See Scheduled Packet Capturing for an introduction to the Scheduled Collector.
