Description

It'd be helpful if the GUI of Diagnostics > Packet Capture could automatically refresh or in some way indicate the count has been reached and capture has stopped, unless of course 0 was deliberately set for no limit. Currently, the page will always show Packet capture is running with the Stop button, even if the capture has ended due to count limit reached.

I tested the commit da2879b467746b43c8b8687700b6d7f34d4fd302 against the 22.05 release.

It does show the packets as they arrive/leave the interface. Yet, once the packet count reaches the defined limit, it stops capturing, but the Stop button doesn't revert to the Start as it would have if we manually stopped capturing.

This is a cosmetic matter, but it will be more clear that the capture is over if the button reverts to Start once it's done with capturing.
