Dear Forum,

Can you please suggest a network monitoring tool that can trace a start-to-finish transaction (illustrating an example below)? Appreciate your advice.

Sample Use Case:
------------------
Want to measure following in below transaction,
T(i) - Timestamp
D(j) - Data (bytes) transacted
App-Server/Desktop etc - Systems
Port 123,636 etc - I/O Ports

Transaction:
T1, D1, leaves Desktop port xyz
T2, D2, arrives App-server port abc
T3, D3 leaves App-Server port 123
T4, D4, arrives DB-server port 636
T5, D5 leaves DB-Server port mnn
T6, D6, arrives App-server port abc
T7, D7 leaves App-Server port 123
T8, D8, arrives Desktop port 636

Addition use cases
------------------
1. Repeat the above use-case every 10 min and compare performance data.
2. Need Data in a text/CSV for charting and analyzing.

Other conditions
----------------
1. GUI availability is optional.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Ravada
