Managing Capture Files
Like the buffers in NAM memory, it is important to be able to manage the capture files stored on either the
NAM hard drive or any defined external storage devices. Several tasks can be performed on these files using
the Capture > Files task, which will list all files found on the NAM hard drive.
Decode – Select the desired file and decode it (just like decoding buffers).
Analyze – Provide traffic, protocol, and host rates over time for the capture file
Merge – Select multiple files and merge them into a single file.
Download - Save a selected file to your client machine in the .enc Network General Sniffer format.
Delete & Delete All – delete one or all the files from the NAM hard drive.
