Packet capture

In this example you look inside the headers of the HTTP and HTTPS packets on your network.

Packet capture is also called network tapping, packet sniffing, or logic analyzing.

To use packet capture through the GUI, your FortiGate model must have internal storage and disk logging must be enabled. If you are not sure whether your model supports disk logging, check the FortiGate Feature/Platform Matrix.
