Description

The Get-AzureRmNetworkWatcherPacketCapture gets the properties and status of a packet capture resource.

Examples

Example 1: Create a Packet Capture with multiple filters and retrieve its status

$nw = Get-AzurermResource | Where {$_.ResourceType -eq "Microsoft.Network/networkWatchers" -and $_.Location -eq "WestCentralUS" } 
$networkWatcher = Get-AzureRmNetworkWatcher -Name $nw.Name -ResourceGroupName $nw.ResourceGroupName 

$storageAccount = Get-AzureRmStorageAccount -ResourceGroupName contosoResourceGroup -Name contosostorage123

$filter1 = New-AzureRmPacketCaptureFilterConfig -Protocol TCP -RemoteIPAddress "1.1.1.1-255.255.255" -LocalIPAddress "10.0.0.3" -LocalPort "1-65535" -RemotePort "20;80;443"
$filter2 = New-AzureRmPacketCaptureFilterConfig -Protocol UDP 
New-AzureRmNetworkWatcherPacketCapture -NetworkWatcher $networkWatcher -TargetVirtualMachineId $vm.Id -PacketCaptureName "PacketCaptureTest" -StorageAccountId $storageAccount.id -TimeLimitInSeconds 60 -Filters $filter1, $filter2

Get-AzureRmNetworkWatcherPacketCapture -NetworkWatcher $networkWatcher -PacketCaptureName "PacketCaptureTest"

In this example we create a packet capture named "PacketCaptureTest" with multiple filters and a time limit. Once the session is complete, it will be saved to the specified storage account. We then call Get-AzureRmNetworkWatcherPacketCapture to retrieve the status of the capture session. Note: The Azure Network Watcher extension must be installed on the target virtual machine to create packet captures.
