POST /qlog/capture?count=N&seconds=S&mode=cc|full qlogs the next N new mvfst connections within S seconds; DELETE disarms; GET reports status and the newest qlog files, each fetchable through /logs. mode=cc drops per-packet and per-stream events and keeps congestion control, RTT, loss and pacing events, so a capture is cheap enough for a loaded relay. Each captured connection logs its DCID at INFO. Capture needs logging.qlog.dir; sample_rate can stay 0. docs/logging.md drops the stale picoquic --qlog-dir example (no such flag) and documents sampling and capture.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The cc logger currently suppresses packet events, but its test does not exercise that behavior, so a future regression could pass the test suite. Add a packet-event assertion; this is a bounded test-coverage gap rather than an established production failure. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The new controls can enable detailed logging across all mvfst listeners, including when routine sampling is disabled. Their security depends on protecting the admin endpoint. Capture limits constrain new selections, but do not bound ongoing logging or accumulated files. Retained concerns

- qlogs the next N new mvfst connections (default 1, max 64) that arrive within S seconds (default 60, max 600). Arming again replaces the capture in progress.
I wonder if this is the trace API that we want. The intent in this case was to capture some particular sessions, but instead we're capturing N over S seconds and hoping we get it. This probably works in the CI runner, but isn't going to work reliably in production when a customer says "its broken".
An alternative is to have the connection we want to trace opt-in to qlogging/mlogging. We could do some of these:
A custom QUIC transport param included in the client's handshake
For mvfst, a KNOB frame sent at any time after connection start
For webtransport, triggering with an HTTP query param or HTTP Header on the CONNECT
From within MOQT - a SETUP option, a or param on any message
For server-side selection beyond random sampling, we could add threshold based triggers which could be set via admin API (enable qlog if RTX > X% or Ack latency > Yms).
Though now that I say this, maybe having a "sample the next N" is an ok approach.

Yet another approach - have the admin API be able to dynamically adjust the sampling rate. Then this becomes:
POST /config?logging.qlog.sampling=1.0
POST /config?logging.qlog.sample= # remove override
or something.
CC: @michalhosna in case you had thoughts about how configs could be updated via admin.

src/logging/CaptureQLogger.h line 23 at r1 (raw file):
class CaptureQLogger : public quic::FileQLogger { public: CaptureQLogger(quic::VantagePoint vantagePoint, std::string dir, bool ccOnly)
If ccOnly is false, this class is a pure pass through. Maybe remove the option and use the base class if !ccOnly.
Capture status is written with the admin JsonWriter instead of folly::dynamic. The bounded integer query parsing moves to AdminResponse.h as boundedQueryParam. CaptureQLogger becomes CcQLogger, a cc-only filter; full mode uses FileQLogger. The capture log line moves to makeQLogger, since the connection ID is not known there.

Addressed in a1da54c:
Keeping "sample the next N" for now. Targeted capture (client opt-in or a named session) will be a follow-up. PTAL. |

I can envision a slightly cleaner layout of the QLogCapture in relation to the other qlog stuff, but I can take that on in a follow up if you want.

count(default 1, max 64) andseconds(default 60, max 600) bound the capture; arming again replaces it.
Maybe "arming again replaces the capture configuration" - active captures are unaffected.

Would it help to list CID here?
src/admin/QLogCaptureHandler.cpp line 45 at r3 (raw file):
std::vector<QLogFile> files; std::error_code ec; for (const auto& entry : std::filesystem::directory_iterator(dir, ec)) {
A few things here:
- can we do this in the GlobalCPU executor instead of in the HTTP thread? This blocks e.g. metrics scrapes while the dir list is running
- maybe keep a heap of the most recent by mtime rather than listing the entire directory and sorting it.
- keep some maximum (eg if there's more than 10k files on disk -- bail and note the listing is truncated). Hopefully the client knows their CID already
src/admin/QLogCaptureHandler.cpp line 87 at r3 (raw file):
} if (dir) { w.field("dir", *dir);
We probably don't need to export the dir via the admin API?
src/admin/QLogCaptureHandler.cpp line 167 at r3 (raw file):
mode = *parsed; } capture->arm(*count, std::chrono::seconds(*seconds), mode);
Another option is to fail the arm (claude suggests 409) if there's one in progress, unless the user specifies replace=1. Not sure that's critical, but might be informative if we expect multiple operators across a fleet who might collide with each other.
src/logging/QLogCapture.h line 54 at r3 (raw file):
private: mutable std::mutex mutex_;
This makes me sad on the inside, we have very few mutexes in moqx, but this seems acceptable, since it will only fire during active debugging and at most a small, fixed number of times.
You could consider using folly::Synchronized - it's a little more syntactic sugar that makes it impossible to accidentally touch parts of state without locking first. But claude was on the fence so I will defer to you.

qlog on mvfst listeners was all-or-sampled and fixed at startup. This adds a capture you can arm on a running relay:
POST /qlog/capture?count=N&seconds=S&mode=cc|fullqlogs the next N new mvfst connections (default 1, max 64) that arrive within S seconds (default 60, max 600). Arming again replaces the capture in progress.DELETE /qlog/capturedisarms.GET /qlog/capturereturns the status and the newest 100 qlog files. Each file can be fetched with the existing/logs?connection_id=<id>&type=qlog.mode=cc(the default) drops per-packet and per-stream events. It keeps congestion control, RTT, loss and pacing events, which keeps the serialization cost on the IO thread low enough for a loaded relay.mode=fullkeeps everything.Each captured connection logs
qlog capture: connection <dcid> (<mode>)at INFO, so captures can be found in the relay log.Capture needs
