Centralized packet capture

Packet capture without the chase.
Every environment. One place.

Start reliable packet captures across bare-metal servers and Kubernetes clusters without remote shell sessions, screen shares, or moving capture files between systems.

Why Pcapillary

Packet capture should not begin with an access project

Centralize the work around the investigation so your team spends less time reaching hosts and moving files—and more time examining the traffic that answers the question.

Operate from one place

See available capture points, start a focused session, follow its progress, search the result, and export evidence from one shared workflow.

Reach the infrastructure you run

Use the same operational approach across native Windows and Linux servers, remote hosts, and Kubernetes clusters.

Keep packet data in your environment

Pcapillary is self-hosted with no SaaS capture path by design. Sensitive packet data does not need to leave infrastructure you control.

A cleaner capture workflow

Stop turning every packet capture into a remote-access project.

Pcapillary replaces scattered utilities, file copies, and one-off capture instructions with a repeatable workflow your whole team can use.

Walk through the workflow
Before

Scattered capture work

  • Find someone with host access
  • Recreate the right command and filter
  • Move files off individual systems
  • Work out which file belongs to which event
With Pcapillary

One managed workflow

  • Choose a collector from the dashboard
  • Apply a reusable, time-boxed profile
  • Search every result in one place
  • Export only the evidence you need
One simple workflow

From a question to packet evidence in minutes

Choose the system, narrow the traffic, and let Pcapillary bring the result back to one place.

01

Choose the capture point

Select a connected bare-metal or Kubernetes collector instead of signing in to the host.

02

Focus the traffic

Set the addresses, ports, protocol, and duration that define the evidence you need.

03

Investigate centrally

Search captures together, examine packet details, and export a standard PCAP for deeper analysis.

Remote Wireshark capture

Open the remote interface. Stay in the analyzer you know.

Pcapillary makes an online collector interface available to Wireshark with temporary, scoped credentials. Your analyst can inspect a live stream from their workstation while the capture runs where the traffic actually exists.

  • No remote shell or desktop session to the target host
  • No PCAP file to copy before analysis can begin
  • One selected collector and interface per scoped session

No SaaS by design

Your packet data stays where your security policy says it should.

Packet captures can contain credentials, customer data, internal addresses, and other sensitive evidence. Pcapillary runs in your environment so you can keep capture data inside your own security boundary instead of sending it to a third-party packet-capture service.

Read about security and control
Built for real investigations

Use packet-level truth without the operational drag

Pcapillary is for targeted, time-bounded capture when logs and metrics do not explain what happened.

Intermittent application issues

Capture around the next occurrence and preserve the traffic that explains timeouts, resets, and unexpected connections.

Distributed infrastructure

Use one workflow across a few internal servers, remote locations, and Kubernetes nodes as the environment grows.

Incident validation

Confirm what crossed the wire, keep the capture tied to its source and time window, and hand off a focused PCAP for deeper analysis.

Common questions

What teams want to know before they try Pcapillary

The short version: it centralizes targeted packet capture without taking ownership of your packet data.

Does Pcapillary send packet captures to a SaaS service?

No. Pcapillary is self-hosted by design. The platform, capture storage, and collector connections run in infrastructure you control.

Can it capture from both servers and Kubernetes?

Yes. Collectors support native Windows and Linux hosts, and a Linux DaemonSet brings the same workflow to Kubernetes clusters.

Can analysts use Wireshark directly?

Yes. Remote Wireshark sessions stream one selected collector interface into Wireshark for live analysis with temporary scoped credentials.

Is the prerelease free to evaluate?

Yes. You can deploy the prerelease in your own environment at no cost to determine whether it meets your packet-capture needs.
