Abstract
The disclosed embodiments provide a system that facilitates the processing of network data. During operation, the system provides a risk-identification mechanism for identifying a security risk from time-series event data generated from network packets captured by one or more remote capture agents distributed across a network. Next, the system provides a capture trigger for generating additional time-series event data from the network packets on the one or more remote capture agents based on the security risk, wherein the additional time-series event data includes one or more event attributes.
