Data Stream Capture

The TL1 Probe can capture all raw data sent from a device.

The raw data is stored in a log file and can be used for debugging purposes, to develop new features for the probe, or to pass to another application that requires the same data.

To enable stream capture, set the StreamCaptureFile property or the -streamcapturefile command line option to the full file path of the stream capture file.

The probe creates a new file each time it starts. Each file is differentiated by a timestamp using the following naming convention:

streamcapturefile-host:port-time

If a reconnection occurs between the TL1 devices and the probe after a disconnection, the probe uses the same stream capture file that was created when the probe started, overwriting all the data kept before the disconnection occurred. You can instruct the probe to append the existing stream capture file by setting the StreamCaptureFileAppend property to 1.
