How do we capture the timestamp (ms accuracy) of dropped frames on a RFC 2544 stream over a long period?

The Spirent Test Centre log only captures 20minutes of info until the log refreshes. We want to start a network stream and let it run for about 7 days, we then need a timestamp (ms accuracy) of every dropped frame over that period.

Is this possible with Spirent Test Center?

We need the timestamp of dropped frames for debugging purposes.

I have not tried this myself for such a long duration test, but the "Spirent TestCenter IQ" may be able to do this. This new web based reporting platform could create a time series chart which plots frame drops against time and can keep going over days in a continuous traffic test. The backend database could get very big over time, so we need to allocate sufficient storage for long duration tests.
