Abstract
A method and system for increasing the collection of network traffic data in a network based on the occurrence of predetermined criteria. A network appliance manages network traffic in the network and passes data traffic on the network. Network traffic data is collected based on the data traffic passing through the network appliance at a normal level. It is determined whether the network traffic data indicates an abnormal condition. The collection of network traffic data is increased through the network traffic appliance when an abnormal condition is detected. The network traffic data from the increased collection is stored in a memory device.
