NIOS API call initiate a packet capture?

[#1]

We're attempting to track down a transient issue, and the process we've come up with requires starting a packet capture on a specific server when certain events are detected.

We've automated the process of detecting and alerting on these events, and that leaves us having to drop what we're doing and initiating packet captures via the GUI, which takes some time.

If we were able to use the API to initiate the packet capture on demand, it would allow us to send requested data to support.
