Abstract

The disclosed embodiments provide a method and system for processing network data. During operation, the system obtains, at a remote capture agent, configuration information for the remote capture agent from a configuration server over a network. Next, the system uses the configuration information to configure the generation of event data from network data obtained from network packets at the remote capture agent. The system then uses the configuration information to configure transformation of the event data or the network data into transformed event data at the remote capture agent.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed by one or more processors of a computing device implementing a remote capture agent, cause the remote capture agent to perform operations comprising:

monitoring network packets traversing a network interface of a computing device in an information technology (IT) environment;

processing, based on configuration information obtained from a configuration server, a first set of network packets, wherein the processing comprises generating and sending a first plurality of timestamped events based on network data obtained from the first set of network packets;

obtaining updated configuration information from the configuration server; and

processing, based on the updated configuration information obtained from the configuration server, a second set of network packets, wherein the processing comprises generating and sending a second plurality of timestamped events based on the second set of network packets, wherein the generating or sending of the second plurality of timestamped events occurs differently than the generating or sending of the first plurality of timestamped events based on the updated configuration information being different than the configuration information.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising: sending the first plurality of timestamped events to a first component in the IT environment for subsequent processing, wherein the first component is identified in the configuration information obtained by the remote capture agent from the configuration server; and sending the second plurality of timestamped events to a second component for subsequent processing, wherein the second component is identified using the updated configuration information.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein each of the first plurality of timestamped events includes a field specified by the configuration information, wherein the field specifies that each timestamped event of the first plurality of timestamped events include a first network data based on the network packets traversing the network interface of the computing device.
