Control of network surveillance in communications networks is accomplished by dividing the surveillance task into two sub-tasks. The first sub-task automatically identifies communications within the network which are to be monitored. Such identification is accomplished by the application of a reasoning system to data received from the network. The identification of the data to be monitored is received by the second sub-task along with network topology information. The second sub-task also applies a reasoning system to this data in order to configure probes and switches within the network so that the identified data can be captured.
