Data Capture in a Distributed Network
Included are embodiments for capturing data associated with a communication. At least one embodiment includes a daemon appliance that includes logic configured to capture at least a portion of data associated with a communication between a first communications device and a second communications device and logic configured to determine a time of reduced network activity.
1 . A daemon appliance for capturing data associated with a communication, comprising:
logic configured to capture at least a portion of data associated with a communication between a first communications device and a second communications device;
logic configured to determine a time of reduced network activity; and
logic configured to send at least a portion of the captured data during the determined time of reduced network activity,
wherein the daemon appliance is coupled to a local network.
2 . The daemon appliance of claim 1 , further configured to timestamp at least a portion of the captured data.
3 . The daemon appliance of claim 1 , further comprising logic configured to associate additional data with the captured data.
4 . The daemon appliance of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the captured data is sent to at least one of the following: a data storage component, an application server, and a central recording system.
5 . The daemon appliance of claim 1 , further comprising logic configured to receive an indication from an application server to begin capture of at least a portion of the data associated with a communication between a first communications device and a second communications device.
6 . The daemon appliance of claim 1 , further comprising logic configured to manipulate at least a portion of the captured data.
7 . The daemon appliance of claim 6 , wherein the logic configured to manipulate at least a portion of the captured data includes at least one of the following: logic configured to encrypt at least a portion of the captured data, logic configured to compress at least a portion of the captured data, and logic configured to encode at least a portion of the captured data.
8 . The daemon appliance of claim 1 , further comprising logic configured to receive an indication to manipulate at least a portion of the captured data.
9 . The daemon appliance of claim 1 , further comprising logic configured to receive an indication from an application server to stop capture of data associated with a communication.
10 . The daemon appliance of claim 1 , further comprising locally caching at least a portion of the captured data at the daemon appliance.
11 . The daemon appliance of claim 1 , further comprising buffering at least a portion of the captured data in a rolling buffer.
12 . The daemon appliance of claim 1 , further comprising logic configured to send an send request prior to sending at least a portion of the captured data.
13 . A computer readable medium for capturing data associated with a communication, comprising:
logic configured to capture at least a portion of data associated with a communication between a first communications device and a second communications device;
logic configured to determine a time of reduced network activity; and
logic configured to send at least a portion of the captured data during the determined time of reduced network activity.
14 . The computer readable medium of claim 13 , wherein at least a portion of the captured data is sent to at least one of the following: a data storage component, an application server, and a central recording system.
15 . The computer readable medium of claim 13 , further comprising logic configured to receive an indication to begin capture of at least a portion of the data associated with a communication between a first communications device and a second communications device.
16 . The computer readable medium of claim 13 , further comprising logic configured to manipulate at least a portion of the captured data.
17 . The computer readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the logic configured to manipulate at least a portion of the captured data includes at least one of the following: logic configured to encrypt at least a portion of the captured data, logic configured to compress at least a portion of the captured data, and logic configured to encode at least a portion of the captured data.
18 . The computer readable medium of claim 13 , further comprising logic configured to receive an indication to manipulate at least a portion of the captured data.
19 . The computer readable medium of claim 13 , further comprising logic configured to receive an indication to stop capture of data associated with a communication.
20 . A method for capturing data associated with a communication, comprising:
capturing at least a portion of data associated with a communication between a first communications device and a second communications device;
determining a time of reduced network activity; and
sending at least a portion of the captured data during the determined time of reduced network activity.
21 . The method of claim 20 , wherein at least a portion of the captured data is sent to at least one of the following: a data storage component, an application server, and a central recording system.
22 . The method of claim 20 , further comprising receiving an indication to begin capture of at least a portion of the data associated with a communication between a first communications device and a second communications device.
23 . The method of claim 20 , further comprising manipulating at least a portion of the captured data.
24 . The method of claim 23 , wherein manipulating at least a portion of the captured data includes at least one of the following: encrypting at least a portion of the captured data, compressing at least a portion of the captured data, and encoding at least a portion of the captured data.
25 . The method of claim 20 , further comprising receiving an indication to manipulate at least a portion of the captured data.
