It would greatly help to have TCPDUMP capabilities in load-balancers where a user can activate a shortlived TCPDUMP session with filter e.g. source IP address and allow to troubleshoot connectivity issues with clients.
This request is based on an issue identified with a specific android device where no request logs or security logs were generated due to TCP/TLS issues with the initial connection and lack of root access to the end device.
We need to be able to get packet captures from RE's for troubleshooting. Getting an SRE on the phone (as it required now) is very cumbersome, and ineffective.
I understand that the filter must have one of the IP's from our tenant, as to not be able to see other's traffic.
Also, like on the F5 TMOS, we need a way to capture the TLS keys for decryption, like "--f5 ssl" flag on TMOS tcpdump command.
Having the ability to do tcpdumps even on a RE hosted HTTP LB will really be helpful as the Customer Edges have this option. Maybe have some 200MB tenant space where to save the tcpdump will be enough.
