Configurations in Capsa

Before using Capsa to capture network traffic, you may do some configurations about the program, like configurations for system options, network profile settings and analysis profile settings; and after starting an analysis project, you may also do some configurations about the project, like settings for address display format, settings for the columns of statistical views, operations on graphs and reports, and other settings for the program.

All of said settings can be memorized by Capsa, so there is no need for you to do the configurations every time when launching the program. For example, you can specify the arrangement order and the width for the columns of IP Endpoint view for an analysis project. The IP Endpoint view will display the columns with specified order and width the next time you launch the program.

The configurations that can be memorized by Capsa and need no repeated operations include:

• The selection on network adapters, the selection on network profile, and the selection on analysis profile.
• The keys for APs.
• All settings for network profile.
• All settings for analysis profile.
• The show status and width for the columns of all statistical views.
• All dashboard panels and all charts on the panels.
• All matrices and the settings for each matrix.
• All reports and the settings for each report.
• All settings for system options.
• The settings for address display format.
• All settings from toolbars and pop-up menus of all statistical views.

The selection on network adapters, the selection on network profile, and the selection on analysis profile will be memorized only when these selections are applied to an analysis project.

If you want the programs installed on different machines have the same analysis settings, you should use global configurations. See Global configurations for details.
