Captures

Sysdig capture files contain system calls and other OS events that can be analyzed with either the open-source sysdig or csysdig (curses-based) utilities, and are displayed in the Captures module.

The Captures module contains a table listing the capture file name, the host it was retrieved from, the time frame, and the size of the capture. When the capture file status is uploaded, the file has been successfully transmitted from the Sysdig agent to the storage bucket, and is available for download and analysis.

Store Capture Files

Sysdig capture files are stored in Sysdig’s AWS S3 storage (for SaaS environments), or in the Cassandra DB (for on-premises environments) by default.
