151.26. Packet capture (im_pcap)
This module provides support to passively monitor network traffic by generating logs for various protocols. It uses the libpcap and WinPcap libraries to capture network traffic.
|
Note
|
When running under Windows, im_pcap uses the WinPcap library to capture network traffic. Due to licensing restrictions, the NXLog installer does not include WinPcap. The WinPcap library has to be obtained and installed separately before using im_pcap. You can get a copy from the project’s website. If WinPcap is not installed, attempting to use the im_pcap module will fail with an error. |
|
Note
|
Multiple instances of im_pcap are not supported currently. |
