The following are the steps to capture virtual service traffic using UI: Capturing Virtual Service Traffic using CLI/ UI Capturing Virtual Service Traffic using UI After reaching the limit, the capture will be terminated and sent to the Controller. This limit may either be the maximum number of packets to receive or the duration of the capture, in minutes. Note: It is highly recommended to set a limit for the capture. After the capture is completed, the SE will forward the pcap file to the Controller, which aggregates and sorts the client and server data into a single file.

The traffic captures will be automatically run on all SEs actively handling traffic for a virtual service. Virtual services may be on a single Service Engine (SE) or scaled out across multiple active SEs. Packet capture in NSX Advanced Load Balancer runs a TCP dump for the designated virtual service or Service Engine and provides complete visibility into the packet transmission.
