Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for generating session-specific packet capture records. In one example, a first network device receives a first packet of a session between first and second client devices, the session comprising forward and reverse packet flows. The first network device modifies the first packet to include metadata comprising a packet capture indicator that indicates whether packet capture is to be performed for the session. The first network device stores at least a portion of the first packet and each subsequent packet of the session and forwards the modified first packet. A second network device receives the modified first packet and, based on the packet capture indicator, stores at least a portion of the first packet and each subsequent packet of the session in a session-specific packet capture record. The first and second network devices may generate, from the stored packet data, a packet capture record for the session.
