1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
monitoring, by a remote capture agent, network packets traversing a network interface of a computing device in an information technology (IT) environment;
obtaining, by the remote capture agent, network data from the network packets;
modifying, by the remote capture agent, based on configuration information obtained by the remote capture agent from a configuration server, the network data to obtain modified network data;
generating, by the remote capture agent, a plurality of timestamped events based on the modified network data; and
sending, by the remote capture agent, the plurality of timestamped events to another component for subsequent processing.
