Within VRNI is there any way to find a specific packet and its contents?

[vmmed1]

I am trying to look at the contents of packets destined for a particular VM. Is that possible

with VRNI? Thank you.

VRNI is Flow collector based on IPFIX format, so on the GUI of VRNI it may not show the flow, but the statistics about the flow.

For flow details, NSX pktcap-uw and tcpdump-uw may be used as link below:

With NSX 6.4, it is easier from the GUI instead of CLI:
