Disabling traffic capture

There are some cases when you might want to disable traffic capture. For example, if you need to change your traffic inclusion and exclusion policies, you can disable traffic capture until you configure the component properly. When you disable traffic capture, no traffic is processed through the network interface. To perform this procedure, you must have Security-level access. 

To disable traffic capture

1. In the Real User Collector, go to Administration > Security settings, and then click Services.
2. In the Data collection section, click Disable for Traffic capture.
   
   The Collector stops collecting traffic data.
