What is pcapDescr?
This read-only field holds a human-readable label describing one packet-capture session in the pcapTable. Admins read it to identify the purpose of a given capture entry, such as which application or troubleshooting task it was set up for, without cross-referencing the device and filter fields. For example, pcapDescr might read "uplink troubleshooting Aug24" so an admin reviewing the table knows why that particular capture was created.
