To find out what exactly is captured in your specific environment, navigate to the
SmartSense View and from the 
menu select What is
Captured. The What is Captured page includes a list of
all components that are captured by SmartSense.
If you would like to see the exact data and files that are captured, perform a capture and then download the unencrypted bundle. To see a step-by-step example of how to do this, refer to the Hortonworks Community Connection post on how to inspect SmartSense bundle contents. If any files contain information that you would like to remove, replace, or anonymize, refer to the documentation for configuring data anonymization rules.
