Abstract

Techniques are disclosed herein for monitoring a software application. The software application may run on servers in a cloud environment. Remote packet capture may be used to capture packets at the servers and forward them over a network to a manager node. However, the forwarding of the packets could potentially impact the software application itself by, for example, overloading the network. This may especially be the case during times of spikes in network traffic. Resource conditions, such as network conditions, may be monitored to minimize the impact by reducing the amount of data packets forwarded, which allows the monitored application to operate normally under traffic spikes. Also, a tunnel protocol having low overhead may be used to reduce the impact of monitoring.
