Examples |
Example 1: Packet capture |
C:\Test> pktmon start --capture |
Example 2: Packet counters only |
C:\Test> pktmon start --capture --counters-only |
Example 3: Event logging |
C:\Test> pktmon start --trace -p Microsoft-Windows-TCPIP -p Microsoft-Windows-NDIS |
Example 4: Packet capture with event logging |
C:\Test> pktmon start --capture --trace -p Microsoft-Windows-TCPIP -k 0xFF -l 4 |

Packet Monitor (Pktmon) is an in-box, cross-component network diagnostics tool for Windows. It can be used for advanced packet capture and event collection, drop detection, filtering, and counting. Pktmon is especially helpful in virtualization scenarios such as container networking and SDN, because it provides visibility within the networking stack. |
