Abstract
System and methods are described for efficient monitoring of network traffic in a public cloud computing environment. In one implementation, a method comprises: generating flow log records of network traffic in the public cloud computing environment; identifying a data packet that presents a potential security risk; identifying a captured data packet (PCAP) record corresponding to the identified data packet; and transmitting the PCAP record to a computing device for network traffic analysis.
