Overview

Use Live Capture to see the data a source sends through the pipeline and also the data a processor receives and sends out. Specifically, the following information is shown:

• The timestamp of when the data was received
• The data that was sent out and whether it was:
  • Modified
  • Unmodified
  • Dropped
  • Reduced

Permissions

Only users with the Observability Pipelines Live Capture Write permission can set up captures. Users with the Observability Pipelines Live Capture Read permission can only view the events that have already been captured. See Observability Pipelines Permissions for a list of permissions for Observability Pipelines assets.

Admins have read and write permissions by default. Standard users only have read permission by default. See Access Control for more information about default Datadog roles and how to create custom roles.

Capture events

1. Navigate to Observability Pipelines.
2. Select your pipeline.
3. Click the cog for the source or processor that you want to capture events for.
4. Select Capture and view events in the side panel.
5. Click Capture.
6. Click Confirm to start capturing events.
   Note: Capturing events usually takes up to 60 seconds. Captured data is visible to all users with view access, and is stored in the Datadog Platform for 72 hours.
7. After the capture is complete, click a specific capture event to see the data that was received and sent out. You can also search for specific events in the search bar. Use the dropdown menu next to the search bar to show events based on status (MODIFIED, UNMODIFIED, DROPPED, and REDUCED).
   • Capture N is the capture request number. For example, Capture N is 1 for the first capture and 6 for the sixth capture.
   • Data highlighted in red indicates data that was modified or dropped.
   • Data highlighted in green indicates data that was added.
