Prior to BAM version 17, BAM includes a set of Packet Capture dashboards as part of the wider suite of Traffic Stats dashboards.

From BAM version 17, the Packet Management tab in the Beeks Analytics app provides all BAM Packet Capture query functionality, and will replace the Packet Capture dashboards described in this section of the document.

To access the BAM standard Packet Capture dashboards, go to the Beeks folder and select the appropriate dashboard.
