Export or Print a Drill Point in the Navigate View
In NetWitness Investigate, when the data for a drill point is displayed in the Navigate view, you can:
- Extract files from a session and choose the type of files to extract: archives, audio BitTorrent, documents, executable, images, other, video, and web.
- Export the drill point as a packet capture (PCAP) file, a log file, or a metadata file.
- Print the drill point.
The details being exported are affected by both the time range and drill point at the time of exporting.
Note: When you export the drill point as a log file, only the log sessions are exported. The job queue message refers to the total number of sessions in the drill point rather than the number of logs. For example, if the drill point has 505 sessions and only five log sessions, the job queue message states that NetWitness is extracting logs for 505 sessions.
